Buresh, Robert; Berg, Kris; Noble, John – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2005
The purposes of this study were to determine the relationships between: (a) measures of body size/composition and heat production/storage, and (b) heat production/storage and heart rate (HR) drift during running at 95 % of the velocity that elicited lactate threshold, which was determined for 20 healthy recreational male runners. Subsequently,…
