O desempenho em provas de resistência é um fenómeno multifatorial complexo, pelo que devem ser consideradas diversas variáveis para fornecer uma previsão precisa do tempo de corrida. Até à data, as variáveis fisiológicas têm sido utilizadas como principais preditores, ignorando o potencial preditivo de outros fatores, como as variáveis psicológicas. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi fornecer uma equação para prever o desempenho de 10K, utilizando fatores fisiológicos e psicológicos como variáveis explicativas. Participaram no estudo 13 corredores do sexo masculino (Peso 68,06 ± 18,73 kg; Altura 174,31 ± 5,39 cm; Idade 39,5 ± 8,5 anos; 57,34 ± 5,03 ml - kg - min VO2MAX). Foi estabelecido um modelo de regressão múltipla utilizando uma abordagem de regressão stepwise baseada em mínimos quadrados ordinários. Após verificação de possíveis colinearidades, os resultados apontaram o VVO2MAX (β=-1,03), a ativação (β=0,17) e o Isolamento (β=0,19), como os melhores preditores de tempo no teste de 10K. A regressão resultante apresentou um coeficiente de determinação (R2) de 0,98 e RMSE= 50,30 s. O VVO2MAX foi o melhor preditor de desempenho de 10K. No entanto, factores psicológicos, como a excitação e o isolamento, explicam a variação adicional. Maior VVO2MAX, menor ativação e maior isolamento poderiam permitir um melhor desempenho na corrida de 10K.
