title = "Simulation of Steady-State Energy Metabolism in Cycling and Running: preprint / version 1",
abstract = "Purpose: A mathematical model to describe the interplay of distinct metabolic rates during exercise was developed decades ago. Despite its use in endurance performance diagnostics, attempts to validate the model{\textquoteright}s assumptions and predictions on experimental data are rare. We here provide a comprehensive study for the steady state.Methods: We rewrote the mathematical equations in the steady state and tested them on a data set of N = 101 individuals derived from four studies in cycling and running.Results: The rewritten equations reveal a unique relationship between the ratio of the maximum oxygen uptake and the lactate accumulation rate, and the fractional utilization of oxygen uptake at the maximum lactate steady-state. Experimental data for running do not provide evidence that this relation holds. For cycling, the experimental evidence is less devastating but can also not be considered as convincing.Conclusion: The simulation in its current form is not suitable for a practical use in performance diagnostics. Additional model layers and/or more precise methods of measurement may improve the model{\textquoteright}s performance, but require experimental validation.",
