Relationships between postcompetition blood lactate concentration and average running velocity over 100-m and 200-m races.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The relationships between anaerobic glycolysis and average velocity (v) sustained during sprint running were studied in 12 national level male sprinters. A blood sample was obtained within 3 min of the completion of semi-finals and finals in the 100-m and 200-m Cameroon national championships and blood lactate concentration ([la-]b) was measured. The 35-m times were video-recorded. The 100-m and 200-m [la-]b were 8.5 (SD 0.8) and 10.3 (SD 0.8) mmol.l-1, respectively. These were not correlated with the performances. Over 200 m [la-]b was correlated with the v sustained over the last 165 m (r = 0.65, P < 0.05). In the 9 athletes who participated in both the 100-m and 200-m races, the difference between the [la-]b measured at the end of the two races was negatively correlated to the difference in v sustained over the two races (r = 0.76, P > 0.02). Energy expenditure during sprint running was estimated from the [la-]b values. This estimate was mainly based on the assumption that a 1 mmol.l-1 increase in [la-]b corresponds to the energy produced by the utilization of 3.30 ml O2.kg-1. The energy cost of running was estimated at 0.275 (SD 0.02) ml O2.kg-1.m-1 over 200-m and 0.433 (SD 0.03) ml O2.kg-1.m-1 over 100-m races. These results would suggest that at the velocities studied anaerobic glycolysis contributes to at least 55% of the energy expenditure related to spring running. However, the influence of both mechanical factors and the contribution of other energy processes obscure the relationship between [la-]b and performance.
