The reliability of running economy expressed as oxygen cost and energy cost in trained distance runners

(Die Reliabilität der durch den O2- und Energieverbrauch ausgedrückten Laufökonomie bei trainierten Läufern)

This study assessed the between-test reliability of oxygen cost (OC) and energy cost (EC) in distance runners, and contrasted it with the smallest worthwhile change (SWC) of these measures. OC and EC displayed similar levels of within-subject variation (typical error < 3.85%). However, the typical error (2.75% vs 2.74%) was greater than the SWC (1.38% vs 1.71%) for both OC and EC, respectively, indicating insufficient sensitivity to confidently detect small, but meaningful, changes in OC and EC.
