Abstract des Autors

The purposes of this study were to examine effects of a season of training on aerobic performance in cross-country distance runners and to analyze the training using subjective and objective techniques. Subjects averaged 184 minutes of running per week, with 45 percent, 24 percent, and 31 percent occurring in zones below, near, and above the heart rate (HR) corresponding to ventilatory threshold (VTHR), respectively (Zone 1: HR>15 bpm below VTHR; Zone 2: HR between Zone 1 and VTHR; Zone 3: HR>VTHR). Maximal oxygen uptake (O2max) increased by 5.1 percent, 5-km race time by 46 seconds (3.7 percent), and 2-km time trial performance by 54 seconds (10.7 percent) from pre- to postseason. Results are similar to previous research demonstrating that short-term (< 3 months) endurance training elicits improvements in various physiological parameters. Findings were not consistent with previous research that suggests a discrepancy may exist between the runners' perceptions and the physiological effects of their training. Verf.-Referat
