Abstract

"La méthode d'entraînement d'Eric Orton a révolutionné le monde du trail. Sa philosophie de la course à pied était au coeur du best-seller Born to Run. Dans No Limit, il nous invite à suivre un stage imaginaire voué au trail et au partage de connaissances. Plutôt que de faire l'inventaire des processus mécaniques, physiologiques et psychologiques dont dépend la performance, il nous les fait vivre. Eric Orton réussit l'exploit d'être aussi captivant que didactique et permet à tous, débutants comme experts, d'explorer tout leur potentiel : Un guide technique limpide pour retrouver une foulée naturelle et en finir avec les blessures ; Un programme de renforcement complet qui met l'accent sur le pied, maillon faible des coureurs occidentaux ; Un plan d'entraînement détaillé pour développer endurance, force et vitesse afin d'aborder tous les types d'épreuves ; Un programme suffisamment souple et évolutif pour convenir aussi bien au débutant qu'au compétiteur d'expérience ; Un guide original et pertinent de la nutrition au service de la performance et de la santé ; Une méthode de renforcement des qualités mentales par la visualisation."

Abstract

Successful endurance performance requires the integration of multiple physiological and psychological systems, working together to regulate exercise intensity in a way that will reduce time taken or increase work done. The systems that ultimately limit performance of the task are hotly contested, and may depend on a variety of factors including the type of task, the environment, external influences, training status of the individual and a host of psychological constructs. These factors can be studied in isolation, or inclusively as a whole-body or integrative system. A reductionist approach has traditionally been favoured, leading to a greater understanding and emphasis on muscle and cardiovascular physiology, but the role of the brain and how this integrates multiple systems is gaining momentum. However, these differing approaches may have led to false dichotomy, and now with better understanding of both fields, there is a need to bring these perspectives together. The divergent viewpoints of the limitations to human performance may have partly arisen because of the different exercise models studied. These can broadly be defined as open loop (where a fixed intensity is maintained until task disengagement), or closed loop (where a fixed distance is completed in the fastest time), which may involve whole-body or single-limb exercise. Closed loop exercise allows an analysis of how exercise intensity is self-regulated (i.e. pacing), and thus may better reflect the demands of competitive endurance performance. However, whilst this model can monitor changes in pacing, this is often at the expense of detecting subtle differences in the measured physiological or psychological variables of interest. Open loop exercise solves this issue, but is limited by its more restrictive exercise model. Nonetheless, much can be learnt from both experimental approaches when these constraints are recognised. Indeed, both models appear equally effective in examining changes in performance, and so the researcher should select the exercise model which can most appropriately test the study hypothesis. Given that a multitude of both internal (e.g. muscle fatigue, perception of effort, dietary intervention, pain etc.) and external (e.g. opponents, crowd presence, course topography, extrinsic reward etc.) factors likely contribute to exercise regulation and endurance performance, it may be that both models are required to gain a comprehensive understanding. Consequently, this research topic seeks to bring together papers on endurance performance from a variety of paradigms and exercise models, with the overarching aim of comparing, examining and integrating their findings to better understand how exercise is regulated and how this may (or may not) limit performance.

Abstract

Anthropologist Jasmina Praprotnik met Helena Zigon while running. Over the course of an icy Slovenian winter, the two marathon runners got together frequently, and Zigon told Praprotnik about her life. Here, Praprotnik tells Zigon's captivating story in Zigon's own voice. Each chapter is marked by a kilometer of the half-marathon Zigon ran along the Adriatic Sea on her eighty-sixth birthday, shortly after losing her husband of sixty years, Stane. Zigon's life spanned most of the twentieth century. She witnessed the Second World War, the rise and fall of Yugoslavia, and the founding of the new state of Slovenia. Abandoned by her parents and having grown up poor and mistreated by her stepmother, Zigon demonstrates the stoic resilience of a long-suffering Slavic woman. Though beset with challenges, she found a source of strength in the act of running. From a young girl running errands to an old woman running in the face of new grief, running has been a bright thread braided throughout her life. It has served her as a balm and a joy—one that she is grateful to still be able to savor. This inspirational memoir will appeal to general readers, especially those interested in history and running.

Abstract

Qu'est-ce que l'économie de course ? Pourquoi l'acide lactique se forme-t-il pendant l'effort ? Comment le revêtement du sol influence-t-il la technique du coureur ? Quel est l'intérêt physiologique de l'échauffement ? La musique améliore-t-elle la performance ? Certains tissus sont-ils plus confortables pour courir ? D'où viennent les courbatures ? Si l'acte de courir semble simple, son étude scientifique donne lieu à de nombreuses approches, aussi riches que complexes. En étudiant les phénomènes physiques, physiologiques, biomécaniques et psychologiques à l'oeuvre dans le running, les chercheurs offrent aujourd'hui aux coureurs amateurs comme professionnels de nouveaux horizons. Car la science peut les aider, quelle que soit leur pratique, à mieux se préparer et à tirer le meilleur parti de leur potentiel. A l'aide de nombreuses infographies, les découvertes scientifiques sur la course à pied deviennent accessibles à tous ceux qui souhaitent comprendre les mécanismes du corps et les ressorts mentaux en jeu dans les épreuves de vitesse et de fond. Qu'il soit question de saisir l'aide que l'on peut tirer des équipements technologiques ou le rôle des "carburants" qui permettent de retarder ou d'éviter fatigue et blessures, cet ouvrage fait le point sur les dernières avancées scientifiques. Grâce à ces connaissances, vous serez à même de cerner vos points faibles et vos qualités, pour mieux les travailler et atteindre vos objectifs de course.
