The effect of preceding races on pacing behavior and performance was explored using 2 studies. <jats:italic>Study I:<\/jats:italic> The effect of competing in extra races due to the repechage (Rep) system, leading to an increased number of high-intensity race efforts prior to the subsequent main tournament race, was explored (500-m, n\u2009=\u200932; 1000-m, n\u2009=\u200934; and 1500-m, n\u2009=\u200947). <jats:italic>Study II:<\/jats:italic> The performance of skaters over the tournament days was evaluated (500-m, n\u2009=\u2009129; 1000-m, n\u2009=\u200954; and 1500-m, n\u2009=\u2009114). For both analytic approaches, a 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to assess differences in pacing and performance within skaters over the races. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> An additional number of preceding high-intensity race efforts due to the Rep system reduced the qualification percentage in the first main tournament race for the next stage of competition in all events (500-m, direct qualification\u2009=\u200957.3%, Rep\u2009=\u200925.0%; 1000-m, direct\u2009=\u200944.2%, Rep\u2009=\u200928.3%; and 1500-m, direct\u2009=\u200927.1%, Rep\u2009=\u200918.2%) and led to a decreased pace in the initial 2 laps of the 500-m event. By contrast, tournament day (Saturday vs Sunday) only affected the pacing behavior of female skaters during the 1500-m event. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> High-intensity race efforts earlier in the day affected pacing and performance of elite skaters, whereas the effect of high-intensity race efforts from the previous day seemed to be only marginal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2017-0637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,18]],"date-time":"2018-01-18T14:47:29Z","timestamp":1516286849000},"page":"970-976","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The
