This study examined the effects of elliptical cross training on VO2max in recently-trained runners. 12 female and 8 male participants (mean SD; age = 23.70 6.33 years, body mass index = 24.85 5.89 kg/m2) completed an initial four-week run training program, exercising four days/week, 30 minutes/day, at 80% maximal heart rate. VO2max was predicted based on the duration of a Bruce graded-maximal treadmill test (GXT) prior to and after the run training. After initial training phase and post-test, subjects volunteered for the detrain group (n = 6) or were assigned to the run (n = 7) or …
