Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Exercise Physiology-Research (Health Sciences and Professions).
Runners exhibit high injury rates from running. To avoid detraining, crosstraining methods are implemented in order to maintain fitness and performance in trained fit runners. Many current cross-training methods have been unable to maintain prior physiological and performance levels and also present subjective differences to running. The ElliptiGO bicycle is a new form of cross-training that aims to provide a low impact, running specific, high intensity exercise experience. This project aimed to compare physiological variables, run performance and subjective variables following ElliptiGO training (ET) and run training (RT). This study displayed maintenance of physiological variables following the ET. Furthermore, run performance was not significantly different following the ET period. Subjectively the ElliptiGO provided a similar experience compared to running for enjoyment, soreness and effort levels.
