Abstract

Purpose Acceleration and deceleration phases characterise shuttle running (SR) compared to constant speed running (CR); mechanical work is thus expected to be larger in the former compared to the latter, at the same average speed (v mean). The aim of this study was to measure total mechanical work (W tot (+) , J kg(-1) m(-1)) during SR as the sum of internal (W int (+) ) and external (W ext (+) ) work and to calculate the efficiency of SR. Methods Twenty males were requested to perform shuttle runs over a distance of 5 + 5 m at different speeds (slow, moderate and fast) to record kinematic data. Metabolic data were also recorded (at fast speed only) to calculate energy cost (C, J kg(-1) m(-1)) and mechanical efficiency (eff(+) = W tot (+) C (-1)) of SR. Results Work parameters significantly increased with speed (P Conclusions W ext (+) is larger in SR than in CR (2.5 vs. 1.4 J kg(-1) m(-1) in the range of investigated speeds: 2-3.5 m s(-1)) and W int (+) , at fast speed, is about half of W tot (+) . eff(+) is lower in SR (16 %) than in CR (50-60 % at comparable speeds) and this can be attributed to a lower elastic energy reutilization due to the acceleration/deceleration phases over this short shuttle distance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
