FIGURE 1.

Effect of resistance on average daily wheel running distance and whole‐body endurance capacity. (a) Cumulative voluntary wheel running distance over 8 weeks for low‐ (LR) and high‐ (HR) resistance wheel runners following a VML injury. Results analysed using a unpaired Student's t‐test. (b) Average daily running distance per week for LR and HR wheel runners following a VML injury. Results analysed with a two‐way ANOVA for time (weeks) and group. †Statistically difference from week 1 distance, independent of group, P < 0.0001. (c) Total distance covered until exhaustion during a treadmill exercise fatigue test completed 3 days prior to study endpoint. Results analysed by one‐way ANOVA. *,#Statistically different from uninjured (*) or VML (#), P < 0.0001. Data reported as means ± SD.
