Recently, the anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) has been applied by scientists and coaches in middle-distance sports to deepen understanding of 1- to 5-minute event performance where different physiological profiles (speed, hybrid, and endurance) can have success. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> World-class (women, n\u2009=\u20092; men, n\u2009=\u20093) and international-level (women, n\u2009=\u20094; men, n\u2009=\u20095) short-track speed skaters completed maximal aerobic speed and maximal skating speed tests. ASR characteristics were compared between profiles and associated with on-ice performance. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> World-class athletes raced at a lower %ASR in the 1000- (3.1%; large; almost certainly) and 1500-m (1.8%; large; possibly) events than international athletes. Men\u2019s and women\u2019s speed profiles operated at a higher %ASR in the 500-m than hybrid and endurance profiles, whereas in the 1500-m, endurance profiles worked at a substantially lower %ASR than hybrid and speed profiles. Women\u2019s 500-m performance is very largely associated with maximal skating speed, while women\u2019s maximal aerobic speed appears to be a key determining factor in the 1000- and 1500-m performance. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> World-class short-track speed skaters can be developed in speed, hybrid, and endurance profiles but achieve their performance differently by leveraging their strongest characteristics. These results show nuanced differences between men\u2019s and women\u2019s 500-, 1000- and 1500-m event performance across ASR profile that unlock new insights for individualizing athlete performance in these disciplines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2023-0055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,3]],"date-time":"2023-08-03T18:22:25Z","timestamp":1691086945000},"page":"1196-1205","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Anaerobic Speed Reserve and Performance Relationships Between International and World-Class Short-Track Speed Skating"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2469-5658","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Simon","family":"Deguire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut National du Sport du Qu\u00e9bec, Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"},{"name":"Speed Skating Canada, Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7245-6689","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gareth N.","family":"Sandford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, Victoria, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9690-9168","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Bieuzen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut National du Sport du Qu\u00e9bec, Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"},{"name":"Speed Skating Canada, Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"r1","series-title":"Sports Med","first-page":"2017","article-title":"Anaerobic speed\/power reserve and sport performance: scientific basis, current applications and future directions","volume":"51","author":"Sandford GN","year":"2021","unstructured":"Sandford GN, Laursen PB, Buchheit M.
