| Sumario: | This study aimed to investigate the physiological and auto-perceived performance changes during a 1-hour effort and their influence on the subsequent graded exercise test (GXT) to exhaustion, comparing two advanced footwear technology (AFT) shoes in trained male runners. Twelve male trained runners (World Athletics [WA] score: 820.8 ± 107.3 points) performed, in a randomized-counterbalanced design, a GXT until VT1 speed determination, followed by a 1-hour effort at +10% VT1 speed, and lastly a GXT until exhaustion on two different visits separated by 7-10 days with different AFT shoes (Cloudboom Strike [CS] and Cloudboom Echo 3 [CE]). Metabolic and auto-perceived parameters were monitored throughout. Results showed no shoe*time interaction effect was found during the 1-hour effort test, however participants exhibited an increase in heart rate (p<0.001), RPE (p<0.001), and a reduction in respiratory exchange ratio (RER) (p<0.01), carbon dioxide production (p<0.05), and a shift in substrate utilization from carbohydrate oxidation to fat oxidation (p<0.05), irrespective of the shoe model. During the GXT, participants using CS condition achieved higher peak speed (p<0.05) and higher VT2 speed (p<0.05) compared to the CE, also lower RER was achieved at VT2 with CS (p<0.05). In conclusion, a 1-hour effort at +10% VT1 speed increases cardiovascular strain and RPE, with an increase in fat oxidation without influence of the shoes used. During the GXT test, participants had higher peak velocity and higher VT2 velocity when using CS than using CE. |
