Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Two experimental race-simulation days, designed to mimic the demands of a full-distance triathlon, were executed by a world-class male\u00a0triathlete\u00a0(MD; 25\u00a0y, body weight 82\u00a0kg, 6.2\u00a0L\u00b7min\u22121<\/jats:sup>, blood lactate threshold \u223c410\u00a0W, and 18\u00a0km\u2009\u00b7\u2009h\u22121<\/jats:sup> in cycling and running) who at the time ranked second in the world. Race simulation was performed 23 and 10 days prior to competing in Challenge Roth 2023, where MD won in a new world record\/best time (7:24:40\u00a0h:min:s). Both test days lasted \u223c4 to 5\u00a0hours with physiologic testing every \u223c45 to 60\u00a0minutes in a \u201cstationary\u201d setting during cycling on a direct-mount trainer (\u223c320\u00a0W) and treadmill running (16\u00a0km\u2009\u00b7\u2009h\u22121<\/jats:sup>), enabling gas exchange measurements ( and respiratory exchange ratio) and other physiologic measurements of interest (ie,\u00a0core temperature and heart rate). This was combined with \u201creal activity\u201d as repeated loops in an open-air field setting at expected race pace in swimming, biking, and running. Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> was maintained at \u223c4.2\u00a0L\u00b7min\u22121<\/jats:sup>, with carbohydrates being the dominant fuel for oxidation as respiratory exchange ratio values dropped from \u223c1 at the start of cycling to \u223c0.85 during running. Cycling economy was stable, whereas a slight impairment in running economy occurred over time. Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> High aerobic energy turnover and stable exercise economy can be maintained in a world-class record-breaking triathlete for prolonged period of time (+4\u00a0h), showcasing the importance of both for success in competition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2024-0221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,14]],"date-time":"2024-11-14T18:52:47Z","timestamp":1731610367000},"page":"161-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Aerobic Energy Turnover and Exercise Economy Profile During Race Simulation in a World-Record-Breaking Male Full-Distance Triathlete"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Peter M.","family":"Christensen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Team Danmark, Brondbyvester, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","series-title":"J Physiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1113\/jphysiol.2007.143834","article-title":"Endurance exercise performance: the physiology of champions","volume":"586","author":"Joyner MJ","year":"2008","unstructured":"Joyner MJ, Coyle EF.
