Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in energy consumption of the sideways running to the right and to the left side and to provide information on other physiological demands of such movement in relation to frontal running. A total of 16 physically active male subjects, with a background in team sports, completed a progressive incremental test running forward and two steady-state protocols running sideways to the left and to the right on the treadmill. Variables monitored were oxygen consumption, heart rate, minute ventilation, tidal volume, and breathing frequency. The main findings show that there is no significant difference in oxygen consumption while running sideways to the right and sideways to the left. The same results were found for the measured heart rate as well as ventilation parameters except for minute ventilation (p<0, 05). The energy demand for sideways running was approximately 84% of RVO2max. In conclusion, results suggest that sideways running to the left and to the right is equally demanding and produces the same energy exertion. These findings should help in better understanding of this form of movement since sideways running is very common in many team and individual sports.
