PURPOSE: Endurance sports performance is influenced by several factors, including maximal oxygen uptake (⩒O2 max), the percentage of ⩒O2 max that can be sustained in endurance events, running economy, and body composition. Traditionally, ⩒O2 max can be measured as an absolute value, adjusted for body mass, reflecting the athlete's central capacity (maximal cardiac output), or adjusted for lean mass (LM), reflecting the athlete's peripheral capacity (muscular oxidative capacity)...
