Abstract
This thesis was conceived to improve the evidence base concerning the mechanical rationale and efficacy of physical training in load carriage running. I have shown that training informed by biomechanics has the potential to augment specific cost functions during load carriage running. This knowledge would benefit both athletes and their coaches who must perform with load. This thesis addresses the burden load carriage has on physical performance and sporting health.
