[en] This study revealed that actual version of the tool has a valid global concept which appears relevant to analyze effort management including race pace, fatigability and uphill and downhill running speed. However, improvement are still needed before any final validation. For example, more accurate rules are needed to rate technicity level.
There is a need for further research and development of this topic.
The data from this study could help the runner to optimize his race preparation and to better manage his effort, especially in delicate moments. These data can also be useful for the coach and the race organizers. It will therefore be possible to compare intra- and inter-individual performances; to analyze the effort management (weaknesses and strengths) and to adapt the training.
