Abstract
Eighteen endurance runners were allocated into either strength training group STG n = 9 or control group CG n = 9 and performed the following tests before and after the training period a incremental test b running speedconstant test c 10km running time trial d drop jump test e 30s Wingate anaerobic test f maximum dynamic strength test 1RM During 1RM the electromyographic activity was measuredIn the STG the magnitude of improvement for 1RM 230 ± 42 P = 0001 drop jump 127 ± 46 P = 0039 and peak treadmill speed 29 ± 08 P = 0013 was significantly higher compared to CG This increase in the 1RM for STG was accompanied by a tendency to a higher electromyographic activity P = 0080 The magnitude of improvement for 10km running performance was higher 25 for STG than for CG −07 P = 0039 Performance was improved mainly due to higher speeds during the last seven laps last 2800 m of the 10km running trial There were no significant differences between before and after training period for maximal oxygen uptake respiratory compensation point running economy and anaerobic performance for both groups P 005
