Summary
This study looked at how running on different slopes (downhill, flat, and uphill) affects the heart, lungs, and muscle fatigue in well-trained runners. Eight athletes ran on a treadmill at various angles while researchers measured their oxygen use and fatigue. The goal was to see if downhill running uses less oxygen and causes less fatigue than flat or uphill running at the same speed.
