Popis: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between female distance running performance on a 10 km road race and body composition, maximal aerobic power ([Vdot]O2 max ), running economy (steady-state [Vdot]O2 at standardized speeds), and the fractional utilization of [Vdot]O2max at submaximal speeds (% [Vdot]O2max ). The subjects were 14 trained and competition–experienced female runners. The subjects averaged 43.7 min on the 10 km run, 53.0 ml · kg−1 · min−1 on [Vdot]O2max , and 33.9, 37.7, and 41.8 ml · kg−1 · min−1 for steady-state [Vdot]O2 at three standardized running paces (177, 196, and 215 m · min−1). The mean values for fractional utilization of aerobic capacity for these three submaximal speeds were 64.3, 71.4, and 79.3% [Vdot]O2max , respectively. Significant (p 0.05) relationships were found between running performance ...
