About this Research Topic
Every season, athletes, cyclists, triathletes, rowers, and swimmers continue to push the boundaries of human performance. Behind the scenes, experts from various fields contribute their knowledge based on existing scientific evidence.
This Research Topic aims to compile the latest evidence on endurance performance from diverse perspectives to keep these professionals up to date:
1. Training Monitoring - Technological development never ceases to amaze us. A wide range of wearable devices is now available for monitoring the internal and external load of athletes. This Research Topic aims to serve as an updated guide to the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of the monitoring devices available on the market.
2. Training Systems - Training systems have always been one of the great mysteries in elite sports. Though certain guidelines exist, each coach-athlete pair brings a unique perspective to training methodologies. Sharing these insights contributes significantly to improving each system. This collection of articles aims to fill this gap.
3. Determinants of Endurance Performance - Endurance performance is renowned for its multifaceted nature. This collection aims to compile scientific articles that examine the interaction between physiological and mechanical factors that define performance in the discipline. We are particularly interested in those articles that analyze its evolution throughout the season.
4. Competition Analysis - Success in endurance disciplines doesn't solely come from training - knowing how to compete is also essential. This aspect requires athletes to identify their maximal capacities beforehand, devise a strategy, and make decisions during the competition. Therefore, this collection aims to compile those scientific articles that analyze how elite athletes approach a competition.
5. Sports Equipment - Sports equipment is the essential tool of elite athletes. Whether in their daily training or during competition, athletes must ensure that their equipment enables them to achieve their maximum performance. This Research Topic aims to collect all scientific articles analyzing the impact of sports equipment on performance.
