How do humans control physiological strain during strenuous endurance exercise?
<h4>Background</h4>Distance running performance is a viable model of human locomotion.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>To evaluate the physiologic strain during competitions ranging from 5-100 km, we evaluated heart rate (HR) records of competitive runners (n = 211). We...
