摘要: The objective of this study was to compare the effect different strength training protocols added endurance on running economy (RE). Sixteen well-trained runners (27.4 +/- 4.4 years; 62.7 4.3 kg; 166.1 5.0 cm), were randomized into two groups: explosive (EST) (n = 9) and heavy weight (HWT) 7) group. They performed following tests before after 4 weeks training: 1) incremental treadmill test exhaustion determine peak oxygen uptake velocity corresponding 3.5 mM blood lactate concentration; 2) submaximal constant-intensity RE; 3) maximal countermovement jump and; 4) one repetition in leg press. After period, there an improvement RE only HWT group (HWT 47.3 6.8 vs. 44.3 4.9 ml . kg (-1) min (-1); EST 46.4 4.1 45.5 (-1)). In conclusion, a short period traditional can improve runners, but be dependent characteristics. When comparing same equipment, seems more efficient for RE.
