Time to exhaustion during severe intensity running: David V.B. James á Jonathan H. Doust

Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to examine any change in performance caused by a fatiguing inter-
val training session (TS). A secondary aim of this study was to examine the change in oxygen uptake (V O2) during moderate and severe intensity running, and the relationship with the change in performance. Seven male runners [mean age 24 (SD 6) years, height 1.79 (SD 0.06) m, body mass 67.9 (SD 7.6) kg, maximal oxygen uptake (V O2max) 4.14 (SD 0.49) l . min)1] were studied.
The V O2 during moderate and severe intensity running and running performance were studied immediately prior to, 1 h following, and 72 h following TS. The TS was performed on a treadmill, and consisted of six bouts of 800 m at 1 km á h)1 below the velocity at V O2max (vV O2max), with 3-min rest intervals. Performance was also assessed at 1 km á h)1 below vV O2max, in the form of time to exhaustion (tlim). The V O2 and heart rate (fc) were assessed both during the severe intensity performance trial, and the moderate intensity run at 50% vV_ O2max.
Whilst a significant change was observed in running performance and the V O2 during both moderate and severe intensity running prior to and following TS, no relationship was observed between the magnitude of change in these variables. At 1 h following TS, tlim had decreased by 24%, V_ O2 during moderate intensity running had increased by 2%, and the diference in V O2
between 2 min 45 s and the end of severe intensity running had increased by 91% compared with values recorded prior to TS. At 1 h following TS, ¦c had also increased signi®cantly during moderate intensity run-ning by 5% compared to the value recorded prior to TS.
These findings demonstrated that TS resulted in a reduction in performance, and that the relationship between running performance and V O2 during running may be altered under conditions of prolonged fatigue.
