“…Indeed higher LTs demonstrated in middle distance athletes have been connected with better running performances. In a sample of national-level French middle distance runners, Lacour et al 14 found a higher correlation (0.66) between LT and mean 3,000 m velocity than VO2max and mean 3,000 m velocity (0.51). Because anaerobic factors play a greater role in middle distances than longer runs, increasing LT is likely to improve performance in 1.5 and 2-mile runs.…”

“…Performance factors of homogenous groups of runners have shown smaller relationships between VO2max and run performance, indicating that anaerobic factors may also be very important to performance in longer middle distance runs. 13,14 However, the aerobic energy system contributions for 3,000 m race performances in trained track athletes may be as high as 93% in males and 94% in females. 15 …”

Very little peer-reviewed information is available to aid military personnel in selecting training programs to enhance performance on fitness tests and direct fitness-related military policy. Objective: This review provides recommendations on training programs for enhancing performance on 1.5-mile and 2-mile runs based on the available relevant literature. Design: Short review article. Methods: Collected relevant research articles by using search terms such as aerobic power, military physical fitness test, strength training, resistance training, endurance training, high intensity interval training, running economy, 3 km run, 5 km run, and 1.5/2-mile run. Results: Evidence has shown running performance can improve with a combination of traditional strength training, high intensity interval training, and distance training. Conclusion: A combination of traditional strength training, high intensity interval training, and distance training should be used to enhance running performance on the 1.5 and 2-mile run tests used by the military.(Journal of Trainology 2014;3:11-30)

“…Mesmo para indivíduos ativos é possível obter uma boa predição de performance por meio da vVO 2 max com a distância de 3 km (r = 0,91), que pode ser constatado no estudo realizado por Silva et al (2005). Por outro lado, Lacour et al (1990), além de verificarem correlação da vVO 2 max com a velocidade média de 1,5 km (r = 0,62) e 3 km (r = 0,64), também observaram correlação com a performance de 5 km (r = 0,86). É importante ressaltar que a ausência de correlação dos índices de capacidade aeróbia e potência aeróbia com a performance na distância de 5 km pode ter ocorrido devido ao número reduzido de sujeitos que participaram do presente estudo.…”

“…Este fato pode ser justificado em função do maior potencial e recrutamento das fibras de contração rápida durante as provas de meio fundo (2 a 10 min). Esse mecanismo proporciona um maior potencial de transferência de energia a partir do metabolismo anaeróbio (NAKAMURA; FRANCHINI, 2006), fazendo com que os mesmos suportem correr médias distâncias nas velocidades próximas ou maiores que a vVO 2 max (BRANDON, 1995;LACOUR et al, 1990;BOILEAU et al, 1982). Brandon (1995) relata que as provas de média duração (2 a 10 min) podem apresentar considerável associação entre a potência e capacidade como determinantes da performance, ao contrário do presente estudo que não apresentou correlação entre a vMLSS e vOBLA com a performance nas distâncias de 1,5 km, 3 km e 5 km de corrida.…”

IntroduçãoVários estudos têm procurado determinar os índices fisiológicos capazes de predizer a performance aeróbia e que, também, possam ser utilizados como referência para prescrição e controle dos efeitos do treinamento (BRANDON, BOILEAU, 1987;BRANDON, 1995;DENADAI, 1996;DENADAI;ORTIZ; MELLO, 2004).Tradicionalmente, os índices aeróbios mais estudados para a predição da performance durante as corridas de endurance são o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO 2 max), a velocidade correspondente ao VO 2 max (vVO 2 max), o tempo de exaustão na vVO 2 max e a economia de corrida (EC) (DENADAI, 1996;DENADAI;ORTIZ; MELLO, 2004;BILLAT et al., 1999;DENADAI, 1999).Embora o VO 2 max seja o parâmetro fisiológico que melhor expressa a aptidão cardiorrespiratória do indivíduo (BASSETT;HOWLEY, 2000), o mesmo apresenta um baixo poder discriminatório da performance em um grupo homogêneo de corredores (DENADAI; ORTIZ: MELLO, 2004). Por outro lado, a velocidade correspondente ao VO 2 max (vVO 2 max) é um índice determinante para a predição de performance em provas de média e longa duração (NOAKES; MYBURGH; SCHALL, 1990). Sobretudo, porque este índice Motriz, Rio Claro, v.18 n.4, p.690-698, out./dez. 2012 Artigo OriginalÍndices fisiológicos associados com a performance aeróbia de corredores nas distâncias de 1,5 km, 3 km e 5 km Physiological indices associated with aerobic performance in the distances of 1,5 km, 3 km and 5 kmAbstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between physiological indices of aerobic power and aerobic capacity with the performance in the distances of 1.5 km, 3 km and 5 km. Nine endurance runners performed the following protocols: a) test to determine the VO 2 max, vVO 2 max and OBLA; b) 2-5 tests in alternate days of 30 minutes with constant speed to determine the vMLSS; and c) performances (P). The linear correlation of Pearson or Spearman and multiple regression were applied to determine the relationships among the indices and the performance. It was found a significant correlation only of the vVO 2 max with the performance of 1.5 km (r = 0.78) and 3 km (r =0.81). Thus, it can be suggested the inclusion of training sessions at or near vVO 2 max on weekly periodization. Based on the present findings, it can be concluded that the performance prediction through the indices of power and aerobic capacity depend on the distance and duration of the race.

“…The difference between the true aerobic energy cost when a steady state is reached, and aerobic energy cost through inadequate determination (i.e., prior to attainment of steady state or velocity too low), may be termed the aerobic energy deficit, or more simply the 'oxygen cost deficit'. The oxygen cost is defined as the 2 O V  per body mass (kg) per unit distance (km) expressed in millilitres (ml), and is calculated as the quotient of exercising minus resting 2 O V  (ml.kg -1 .min -1 ), and velocity (km.min -1 ) (Lacour et al, 1990, adapted from di Prampero, 1986). In the case of the present study, we analysed our data to determine the oxygen cost deficit, which we defined as the difference between max), in the fatigued and non-fatigued conditions.…”
