ABSTRACT=Endurance performance results from a complex interaction of physiological, biomechanical, psychological, and perceptual factors. Despite decades of research, transforming theoretical models into effective, individualized strategies for athletes remains a key challenge. This Research Topic, Decoding Endurance Performance: From Theory to Practice, brings together interdisciplinary studies that advance our understanding of how runners prepare, adapt, and perform in real-world conditions.
