Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Long-distance running is characterized by high speed and long-term endurance. It belongs to the group of long-duration high-speed sports dominated by long-term continuous muscular activity. Objective Explore the effect of physical training in long-distance running on improving speed and strength in athletes. Methods A total of 40 student-athletes at a university in a particular city were selected as research subjects. The experimental grouping was performed by lottery, with 20 in the control group and 20 in the experimental group. Results After the independent sample t-test, the results exhibited P=0.023, less than 0.05, showing that long-distance running physical training is very effective in improving speed and strength; the baseline performance of the experimental group was slightly lower than that of the control group, after training, the mean score of the students in the experimental group elevated compared with the control group. Conclusion Long-distance running physical training can significantly improve speed and strength. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
