EFFECTS OF ATHLETIC WALKING ON THE PHYSICAL ENDURANCE OF ATHLETES

ABSTRACT Introduction Athletic walking is a physical endurance test. This sport has a long competition time and a high load intensity. The long-term continuous movement of muscles is the most prominent characteristic of this sport. Strength and endurance are essential physical factors that determine the performance of the runners who do it. Physical endurance is an essential indicator to evaluate the level of physical training in athletic walking. Objective This study aims to analyze the effect of endurance training on the physical fitness and competition performance of athletic walkers. Methods This work selects four athletes as the research object. The athletes undergo one month of resistance training. The athletes recorded their physiological and biochemical indicators before and after resistance training. Then, the mathematical statistics method was used to analyze their physiological and biochemical indicators. Results Hemoglobin levels in the last three weeks of resistance training were significantly higher than in the first week (P<0.01). During endurance training, the athletes’ morning blood urea peak appeared in the first test after going to high altitude (P<0.05). Conclusion Endurance training can improve the fitness of athletic walkers. Resistance training effectively stimulates the blood system of athletes for at least two weeks. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

摘要：
竞走是一项体能耐力型竞技运动。该项目竞赛周期长、负荷强度大，肌肉长时间持续运动是其最显著的特征。力量与耐力是决定该项目运动员竞技表现的核心身体素质要素，而体能耐力亦是评估竞走运动员训练水平的关键指标。
研究目的：本研究旨在分析耐力训练对竞走运动员体能与竞赛表现的影响。
研究方法：本研究选取4名运动员作为研究对象，对其开展为期1个月的抗阻训练。在抗阻训练前后记录运动员的生理生化指标，并采用数理统计方法对上述指标进行分析。
研究结果：抗阻训练最后三周的血红蛋白水平显著高于第一周（P<0.01）；在耐力训练期间，运动员的晨起血尿素峰值出现于首次高原测试后（P<0.05）。
研究结论：耐力训练可有效提升竞走运动员的体能水平；抗阻训练能够持续刺激运动员的造血系统至少两周。
证据等级为II级；治疗性研究——治疗结局探究。
