“…Some authors have so far presented a series of potential physiological variables traditionally investigated as predictors or determinants of performance in long-distance races, such as maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2MAX ), anaerobic threshold (AT), critical velocity (CV), running economy, maximum aerobic velocity, velocity associated with VO 2MAX and AT, among others (da Silva, Sotero, Simões, & Machado, 2015;Denadai, Ortiz, Stella, & Mello, 2003;Ogueta-Alday & Gácia-López, 2015;T. M. Santos, et al, 2012;Smith & Jones, 2001;Souza et al, 2014). However, due to the detriment of distance and duration of a race, performance seems to be influenced not only by the physiological variables, but also by anthropometric parameters, race strategy, age, gender, and supplementation strategy and they should also be considered (Santos, et al, 2017).…”
