Henry J. Hopwood, Phillip M. Bellinger, Heidi R. Compton, Matthew N. Bourne, Wim Derave, Eline Lievens, Ben Kennedy, and Clare L. Minahan
Quantifying the running performance of Australian football (AF) athletes during match play is important to monitor workloads, 1 , 2 develop more specific conditioning programs, match tactics, and possibly for recruitment and team selection. 3 , 4 Nonetheless, understanding and
Relationship Between Body Segment Mass and Running Performance in Well-Trained Endurance Runners
Hiromasa Ueno, Tadashi Suga, Kenji Takao, Masafumi Terada, Akinori Nagano, and Tadao Isaka
Generally, the body mass of endurance runners is lower than that of other track-and-field event athletes to perform economical running. 1 – 3 Nevertheless, the lower body mass of endurance runners may not be an important contributing factor to their better running performance. 1 , 4 – 7 In

Polarized Versus High-Intensity Multimodal Training in Recreational Runners
Andrew J. Carnes and Sara E. Mahoney
The improvement of distance-running performance has inspired decades of scientific research and debate. Current data support the concept of “polarized endurance training” (POL), characterized by a high volume of continuous, low-intensity training interspersed with a small amount at much higher
