The purpose of the study was to investigate changes in stride length and stride rate after a training programme of high speed treadmill and sprint running. Three groups were randomly created from a ranked list of one hundred metre performance times. Each subject was filmed while running the 100 metres before, midway and following a seven week, thirty training session programme. A 16 millimeter Bolex spring loaded movie camera with TRI-X Reversal Film was used to film each run. Filming took place from an elevated press box ninety yards away from the subjects running on an all-weather grasstex track. The camera was panned to follow the runners throughout the 100 metre distance and stride rate and length were calculated from the film. A multiple analysis of variance was computed on both stride length and rate scores. Significant F scores were found in two cases. Firstly, the stride length changed significantly in all groups and in all testing periods as the runner progressed through the 100 metre distance. Secondly, there were significant differences in stride rate in all runs between various segments of the race. There were no significant differences between training groups or testing times on either stride length or rate.

Book excerpt: Reviews of The Science of Running:"The Science of Running sets the new standard for training theory and physiological data. Every veteran and beginner distance coach needs to have this on their book shelf."-Alan WebbAmerican Record Holder-Mile 3:46.91 "For anyone serious about running, The Science of Running offers the latest information and research for optimizing not only your understanding of training but also your performance. If you want to delve deeper into the world of running and training, this book is for you. You will never look at running the same."-Jackie Areson, 15th at the 2013 World Championships in the 5k. 15:12 5,000m best If you are looking for how to finish your first 5k, this book isn't for you. The Science of Running is written for those of us looking to maximize our performance, get as close to our limits as possible, and more than anything find out how good we can be, or how good our athletes can be. In The Science of Running, elite coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness integrates the latest research with the training processes of the world's best runners, to deliver an in depth look at how to maximize your performance. It is a unique book that conquers both the scientific and practical points of running in two different sections. The first is aimed at identifying what limits running performance from a scientific standpoint. You will take a tour through the inside of the body, learning what causes fatigue, how we produce energy to run, and how the brain functions to hold you back from super-human performance. In section two, we turn to the practical application of this information and focus on the process of training to achieve your goals. You will learn how to develop training plans and to look at training in a completely different way. The Science of Running does not hold back information and is sure to challenge you to become a better athlete, coach, or exercise scientist in covering such topics as:· What is fatigue? The latest research on looking at fatigue from a brain centered view.· Why VO2max is the most overrated and misunderstood concept in both the lab and on the track· Why "zone" training leads to suboptimal performance.· How to properly individualize training for your own unique physiology.· How to look at the training process in a unique way in terms of stimulus and adaptation.· Full sample training programs from 800m to the marathon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of sport performance has been supported by the development and integration of advanced training devices and practices aimed at eliciting both physiological and mechanical adaptations. The primary purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of a 12-session skate treadmill training intervention on stride mechanics in youth ice hockey players. The secondary purpose was to investigate the effect of removing the training stimulus on retention of stride mechanics adaptations as a result of training. Stride mechanics were defined by the variables: stride length (SL·mm), stride frequency (SF·Hz), and select kinematic measures of the trunk, hip, and knee angles (°). Twenty-three ice hockey players (9.7 ± 0.5 y) completed an A-B-A, within-subject, quasi-experimental training intervention. Twelve treadmill sessions were scheduled over 9 weeks. Block A was defined by sessions 1-6 and 7-12, and included pre1-post1 and pre2-post2 assessments. Block B was defined by the time between sessions 6 and 7, whereby the training intervention was removed. The duration of Block B was consistent with the time to complete Block A (sessions 1-6 and 7-12), respectfully. Pre-post assessments included, anthropometric measures of [standing and sitting height (cm), weight (kg)], vertical jump height (cm), and stride mechanics. Stride mechanics, namely SL (mm), SF (Hz), and joint angles (°), were obtained from video analysis conducted at a constant treadmill speed (10 mph) and incline (5 °). While directional changes of improvement, namely increasing SL, decreasing SF, and increased knee flexion at weight acceptance were observed pre-post training sessions 1-6, 7-12 and overall, 1-12, the changes were not significant. Significant differences in hip and knee angles following toe-off pre-post training sessions 1-6 and sessions 1-12 were revealed (p

Download or read book Fluctuations in Walking Speeds and Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters when Walking on a Self paced Treadmill at Level Incline and Decline Slopes written by Cesar Rafael Castano and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a daily basis, humans walk over a variety of terrains. Studies have shown that spatiotemporal gait parameters, such as stride length, stride frequency, stride variability, etc., change when humans walk down a decline and up an incline compared to level ground. However, these studies have been limited to using fixed speed treadmills or analyzing a small number of strides when conducted over ground. Thus, there is a need to investigate the fluctuations in spatiotemporal gait parameters of humans walking at their self-selected speed, which requires recording hundreds of strides. Here we hypothesized that subjects will walk with a slower speed and have greater stride variability on an incline or decline compared to level ground. We used a self-paced treadmill and had 7 young adults walk on three slopes (+9 degrees, incline; 0 degrees, level; -9 degrees, decline). A motion capture system was used to calculate spatiotemporal gait parameters.
