For each training session in the 4\u00a0wk prior to each Wingate test, the volume (in hours), training type (specific, simulation, nonspecific, and strength training), and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE; CR-10) were recorded. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic>: Compared with the 8 lowest, the 7 highest-scoring tests were preceded by a significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.01) higher volume of strength training. Furthermore, the RPE distribution of the number of nonspecific training sessions was significantly different (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.01). Significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05) correlations highlighted that a larger nonspecific training volume in the lower intensities RPE 2 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.735) and 3 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.592) was associated positively and the medium intensities RPE 4 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2212.750) and 5 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2212.579) negatively with Wingate performance. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic>: For the subject, the best results were attained with a high volume of strength training and the bulk of nonspecific training at RPE 2 and 3, and specifically not at the adjoining RPE 4 and 5. These findings are surprising given the aerobic nature of training at RPE 2 and 3 and the importance of anaerobic capacity in this middle-distance event.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2019-0544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,3]],"date-time":"2020-10-03T15:30:21Z","timestamp":1601739021000},"page":"149-153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Training Distribution in 1500-m Speed Skating: A Case Study of an Olympic Gold Medalist"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jac","family":"Orie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nico","family":"Hofman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laurentius A.","family":"Meerhoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arno","family":"Knobbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","series-title":"Scand J Med Sci Sports","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0838.2004.00418.x","article-title":"Quantifying training intensity distribution in elite endurance athletes: is there evidence for an \u201coptimal\u201d distribution?","volume":"16","author":"Seiler KS","year":"2006","unstructured":"Seiler KS, Kjerland GO.
