Effects of continuous-extensive method to enhance aerobic resistance in trail running and long-distance race

Abstract:

Introduction: the run as well as being a basic physical skill is an inseparable part of numerous sports. The various sports rise in the country based on run of resistance deserves, for trail running case, to design efficient training models according to sport demands, being vital to enhance sports performance. Objective: Effects evaluate of a resistance training based on continuous-extensive method of amateur athletes in trail running and long-distance race, senior category. Methods: The research is transversal, experimental and correlational, studying two independent groups of senior trail running athletes (10 subjects) and long-distance race (10 subjects) of the male sex (age range: 21-40 years), total 20 amateur athletes category. The independent groups were subjected to a previous analysis that showed a similar sport performance in aerobic capacity terms. The Cooper test was applied after implementing a specialized aerobic resistance training (six months), based in the application of continuous-extensive method. Results: there was a notable improvement in physical capacity resistance in the groups studied, being the comparison of potentiation of the aerobic resistance significantly different (p = 0.000) between groups, favoring the long-distance race athletes (15.00) over trail running athletes (6.00). Conclusions: Most of the study showed positive results referring to aerobic resistance increase in the sports investigated, which shows a favorable point for efficient training by training method implemented. On the other hand, it was demonstrated that the continuous-extensive method enhances aerobic resistance better in long-distance race athletes than in trail running athletes.
