# Appendix A: Scope And Packaged Source Tables

## What this flagship study can answer now

| category | question | answer |
|---|---|---|
| answered | Did workload, modality mix, and performance change across the six-year record? | Yes. The account shows major year-to-year changes in structured training volume, modality share, running volume, and later high-resolution running performance. |
| answered | Did all measured running mechanics change in parallel with performance? | No. Multiple variables changed substantially, but some mechanics remained comparatively more conserved than pace, cadence, power, and GCT. |
| supported_not_proven | What adaptation pathway does the dataset most strongly suggest? | The strongest within-subject signal is turnover-led adaptation, with cadence tracking pace more strongly than stride length in the high-resolution window. |
| not_answered | How does this system compare directly to a non-compromised or normative comparison system? | This study cannot answer that directly because it has no matched external comparator cohort or literature-normalized control framework embedded in the package. |
| not_answered | What exact biomechanical mechanism caused the adaptation pattern? | This study cannot prove mechanism. It identifies a longitudinal pattern and the variables that changed together, but not the exact tissue-level or control-level cause. |
