IMPROVING SPEED AND STRENGTH IN LONG-DISTANCE RUNNING TRAINING

APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE VELOCIDADE E FORÇA NO TREINAMENTO DE CORRIDA DE LONGA DISTÂNCIA

PERFECCIONAMIENTO DE LA VELOCIDAD Y DE LA FUERZA EN EL ENTRENAMIENTO DE CARRERAS DE LARGA DISTANCIA

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Long-distance running is a typical physical endurance sport. The athletes’ fitness level plays a dominant and central role in the components of their competitive ability. Whether long-distance runners can win in fierce competition depends mainly on the endurance of their physical fitness.

Objective:

To analyze the physical training methods of long-distance runners and discuss the improvement of speed and strength of long-distance runners through physical training.

Methods:

This paper uses literature materials, expert interviews, and experimental methods to research the training practice of middle and long-distance runners in colleges and universities. The data collected comprised an experimental protocol performed on volunteer long-distance runners. The above research determined the effect of physical training on speed and strength in long-distance runners.

Results:

After the 12-week experimental intervention, the overall strength, flexibility, and flexibility of the long-distance runners were improved, and the data were statistically significant (P<0.05). The aerobic workability and anaerobic capacity of the athletes were improved through the experiment.

Conclusion:

Physical training can improve the speed and strength of long-distance runners. Athletes can increase physical training with this protocol in their daily training. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
