The role of propulsive force deterioration in the deceleration phase of elite sprinting
Elite-level 200 m and 400 m sprinters exhibited reduced propulsive force deterioration rates which were associated with lower v<sub>max</sub> and greater v<sub>finish</sub>. In the 400 m event, these results are evidence of an alternate pacing strategy perhaps to reduce energy consumption from anaerobic metabolism, whereas the 200 m results may indicate the biomechanical demands of curve running.
