Von hervorragenden Experten mit großer praktischer Erfahrung mit Elitesportlern und Trainern geschrieben, ist dieser Band nicht nur auf Profis zugeschnitten, sondern auch für den Freizeitsportler geeignet. Leicht verständlich geschrieben, mit zahlreichen Illustrationen, mit Tabellenmaterial und Zusammenfassungen. Diskutiert werden die physiologischen Anforderungen beim Mittel- und Langstreckenlauf anhand aktueller Erkenntnisse, die Grenzen der Laufleistung und spezielle Methoden, mit denen Sportler, Trainer und Sportwissenschaftler die Laufleistung einschätzen und überwachen können sowie die Umsetzung dieser Erkenntnisse im Training. Auch ernährungs- und umweltbezogene Aspekte werden behandelt.
