Ventilatory and heart rate chemosensitivity in track-and-field athletes
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1990Fifty-four male track-and-field athletes and 18 male non-athletes were examined by isocapnic progressive hypoxia and CO2 rebreathing tests. Ventilatory and heart rate (HR) responses to hypoxia were analysed by a hyperbolic relationship and the ventilatory response to hypercapnia by a linear regression.

Assessment of balance among adolescent track and field athletes
Sports Biomechanics, 2016Track and field events place different demands on athletes and may have an effect on balance. This study investigated the effects of event specialty, gender, and leg dominance on balance among adolescent track and field athletes. Forty healthy adolescent track and field athletes (male = 23, female = 17) categorised into three different groups (sprinter

The moment of readiness to return to sport (RTS) after injury is the main question during sports injury rehabilitation. In this chapter, we discuss general principles in injury rehabilitation and RTS in track and field. To understand the full scope of an injury, it is essential to analyze etiological injury risk factors, training load, and biomechanics.

Posterior Thigh Muscle Injuries in Elite Track and Field Athletes
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010Introduction: Posterior thigh muscle injuries in athletes are common, and prediction of recovery time would be of value. Hypothesis: Knee active range of motion deficit 48 hours after a unilateral posterior thigh muscle injury correlates with time to full recovery. Study Design: Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2.

Variability in precompetition anxiety and performance in college track and field athletes
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1996The influence of anxiety on sport performance was examined using the inverted-U hypothesis and Zone of Optimal Function (ZOF) theory. Sixty-seven collegiate track and field athletes completed versions of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to determine baseline state anxiety, recalled best anxiety, and precompetition anxiety.

The ACTN3 Gene in Elite Greek Track and Field Athletes
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2008The study of genetic influence in the making of an Olympic champion is still in its nascence, but recent work has provided findings regarding the association of the ACTN3 gene on athletic performance. The aim of this study was to examine genetic differences among elite Greek track and field athletes by analysing a mononucleotide polymorphism in exon 15
