A STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MUSCLE STRENGTH GAIN TRAINING IN RUNNING ATHLETES

ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle strength training can increase the strength of the phasic muscles, aiding in balance and body stability. Running is a physical-dominant speed sport where strength-speed is two crucial quality in the athletic training of its practitioners. It is believed that training muscle strength at high-intensity intervals can increase athletic speed performance. However, there is no determinant point to determine the peak of this relationship. Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of high-intensity interval muscular strength training on the physical conditioning of athletes. This paper also examines the relationship between muscular strength training and performance training in sprinters. Methods: Twenty sprinter volunteers were randomly selected as research subjects, divided without discrepancies into control and experimental groups, with ten people each. Mathematical statistics were used to analyze the physiological indicators of the subjects before and after muscle strength training. At the same time, the statistical correlation method was applied to analyze the performance changes of athletes before and after the exercise cycle. Results: After muscle strength training, the athletes in the experimental group were better than those before the training. The data were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Muscle strength training can promote the physical conditioning of sprinters. At the same time, the training mode can also improve the athlete’s performance.
