Abstract: | Summary The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between anaerobic ability and middle distance running performance. Ten runners of similar performance capacities (5 km times: 16.72, SE 0.2 min) were examined during 4 weeks of controlled training. The runners performed a battery of tests each week maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), vertical jump, and Margaria power run] and raced 5 km three times (weeks 1, 2, 4) on an indoor 200-m track (all subjects competing). Regression analysis revealed that the combination of time to exhaustion (TTE) during theVO2max test (r
2=0.63) and measures from the Margaria power test (W·kg–1,r
2=0.18 ; W,r
2=0.05) accounted for 86% of the total variance in race times (P<0.05). Regression analysis demonstrated that TTE was influenced by both anaerobic ability vertical jump, power (W·kg–1) and aerobic capacity (VO2max, ml·kg–1·min–1)]. These results indicate that the anaerobic systems influence middle distance performance in runners of similar abilities. |
