Review explores physiological predictors of endurance performance in athletes, highlighting knowledge gaps.

The review aims to identify key physiological factors affecting endurance performance in elite athletes and their interactions.
Analysis of key performance indicators in endurance sports such as maximal oxygen consumption, lactate threshold, and efficiency.
Review of existing literature on genetic predispositions for elite performance and motivational factors influencing athletes.
Discussion of areas lacking definitive research in physiological determinants of efficiency.
Maximal oxygen consumption and lactate threshold are crucial predictors of endurance performance.
Efficiency significantly influences the speed or power output derived from sustained oxygen consumption.
There is limited information about the genetic factors influencing elite endurance performance compared to physiological metrics.

Joyner et al. (2007) studied this question.
