1000 W at the outset of an XCO race, 3 thus supporting the suggestion that a fast-start pacing strategy is the most-used strategy in XCO races. 2 , 4 Because of this fast-start pacing, XCO athletes usually decrease power output as the race progresses so that the time to complete each lap increases. 1

field. Among the factors underpinning endurance cycling performance, pacing strategy is one of the most studied. 6 , 7 Descriptive 8 – 10 and experimental 11 – 13 studies have been published across disciplines, and, interestingly, a variable gradient course has been considered an extra challenge to

The pacing strategies in athletic competitions have been largely investigated, both from an energetic and tactical point of view. 1 , 2 During 800-m track running events, the most common pacing strategies adopted are positive, with a fast start and a gradual decrease in speed, whereas for the

of water loading in MMA and MT/K is unclear. Developing a greater understanding of the various weight loss strategies used in combat sports and their prevalence is important, as some strategies have been reported to negatively influence exercise performance 12 – 15 and provide a potential risk to

coaches perceive a wide range of regenerative strategies as effective to consolidate recovery kinetics, 11 – 13 the perceptions of Gaelic players and practitioners remain unknown. An exponential growth in research assessing the efficacy of recovery strategies, 14 the widespread implementation of

intracellular proteins into the bloodstream, 7 ultimately attenuating muscle function and athletic performance. 8 The course of these alterations and strategies that may affect the course of various symptoms associated with EIMD has been areas of detailed investigation. 7 , 9 , 10 Additional sources of muscle

Recovery strategies are imperative in team sports 1 and elite soccer, 2 where players can compete in ≥60 competitive matches per season with fixture congestion and limited recovery time between matches (2–4 d). 3 Insufficient recovery can impede match performance, 2 negatively affect player

evidence is currently available to describe the strategies that these players may use to aid recovery. In addition, it also remains to be seen whether specific recovery strategies that are utilized by Gaelic players are empirically justified or whether their application is contextually (un

reduced in successive sets, is one strategy to preserve the total volume that an individual may complete in the presence of accumulating fatigue. It is unknown whether the additional volume allowable by load reduction would offset the decrease in intensity in providing the optimal stimulus for producing

players. 8 , 10 , 14 , 15 In this regard, basketball coaching staff may benefit from understanding the precise demands of different defensive strategies when prescribing GBD during training given this factor can be easily and readily altered to best prepare players for competition. To date, only one
