Given the unique mechanical and energetic demands of uphill and downhill terrain, it is unclear how fatigue develops across different segments of a trail course. This study aimed to assess physiological deterioration and terrain-specific performance decline in recreational trail runners following a 90-minute submaximal effort.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Twenty-five recreational trail runners (4 females,\n                    <jats:inline-formula\/>\n                    : 54.6 [6.8]\u00a0mL\u00b7kg\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u00b7min\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) completed a time trial and treadmill-based cost-of-locomotion (CoL) test before and after a 90-minute trail run at 66% of the heart-rate range between lactate threshold and lactate turn point. Changes in CoL, ventilatory and cardiovascular variables, and time-trial performance on a 3.8-km outdoor course were analyzed.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Postfatigue time-trial completion time increased significantly (+7.7%), driven by slower uphill segments, whereas downhill segments remained unchanged. CoL and blood lactate did not differ postexercise. However, heart rate increased (+6.5%), oxygen pulse decreased (\u20137.8%), tidal volume declined (\u201313.9%), and breathing frequency increased (+19.9%) during the postfatigue CoL test, despite unchanged ventilation. During the prolonged run, progressive slowing of uphill segments occurred despite stable heart rate, indicating internal\u2013external workload decoupling.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    The prolonged effort induced terrain-specific performance decline and physiological strain despite preserved metabolic cost.
