Abstract:
This work explores locomotor profiling in running to complement traditional markers like V̇O₂max. Combining maximal aerobic (MAS) and sprinting speed (MSS) links physiological and mechanical factors to categorize speed, hybrid, and endurance profiles. Valid testing is key, as profiles shape acute load tolerance and adaptations to training. Locomotor profiling thus enables individualized training and performance monitoring.
