Effect of two drafting modalities in cycling on running performance

Article Abstract:

This article compares the physiological effects of continuously cycling behind another athlete during a triathlon and switching positions while racing. Findings indicate that drafting behind a lead cyclist for the duration of a race results in lower heart rates, reduced oxygen consumption levels, and significant improvements in subsequent running performance.

Vitamin and mineral supplementation and neuromuscular recovery after a running race

Article Abstract:

Effects of vitamin and mineral complex supplementation on the neuromuscular function of the knee-extensor muscles after a prolonged trail running race is investigated by a double-blind study. The reduction of maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) immediately after the race appears to result from peripheral mechanisms such as a failure in muscle membrane excitation and, to a lesser extent, from reduced central activation.
