Running training in women and men aged 25 or older and physical fitness factors in accordance with the health-related fitness concept
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 22, Issue 59
Abstract
[b]Aim of the study.[/b] The study was designed to evaluate adaptative effects of 16-month original running training program on physical fitness components considered in accordance with the health-related fitness concept (H-RF) in the late middle-aged and elderly subjects of both genders.[b]Material.[/b] In the study, conducted in June 2010 and in November 2011, 21 women and 42 men were involved. The average age of women was 36.1 ± 9.0 and of men 43.9 ± 9.6. The subjects took part in the endurance running training sessions regularly 2–6 times per week.[b]Methods.[/b] The evaluation was carried out with the help of direct observation employed to assess participants’ physical fitness level in terms of H-RF on the basis of their performance in selected trials taken from the battery of tests Eurofit for Adults. Diagnostic survey was based upon thorough analyses of documents and interviews. The obtained findings were statistically verified by means of dependent to-test for paired samples and described in accordance with Pearson correlation method.[b]Results.[/b] During the 16-month training cycle only in women the extensive increase in training load was found. No favorable changes in morphological components were discovered. However, there was a positive effect of training in men and women on other components of health-related physical fitness (H-RF). The analysis of the strength of relationship between training load, age seniority and sports performance (M-PF), and physical fitness assessed in conditions of health-related fitness allows us to assume that important independent variables are age and training volume.[b]Conclusions. [/b]In order to obtain adaptative changes, particularly in women, it would be necessary to intensify their endurance training. However, the important thing is the relevance of age and training for participants, especially the older ones. In that case sport aims must be designed adequately to functional capacity of human aging organisms.
