EFFECTS OF RUNNING COMBINED WITH MUSCULAR TRAINING OF THE ABDOMINAL CORE

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Running has specific effects on different areas of the human body, and the sagittal angular variation of the hip, knee, and ankle joints is widely explored. In addition to accelerating body metabolism, it can also improve body shape. Recent studies have revealed that running can also improve athletes’ muscular strength of the abdominal core. Objective: Explore the effects of running combined with muscle training on the abdominal center strength of athletes. Methods: It investigated the effects of 3 different running intensities on athletes’ abdominal core muscle strength. Computerized kinematic motion capture technology was used to measure the impacts of running on 18 young volunteers. The sagittal planes of the hip, knee, and ankle joints were evaluated. Abdominal center muscle strength was assessed during running. Results: Running particularly affected the combined contraction rate of the tibial, gluteal, and soleus muscles. The correlation between speed, muscle activation, and joint angle was also analyzed. Conclusion: Athletes tend to adjust the angle and frequency of joint movements to reduce fatigue. It was noted can have the ability to control muscle strength in different regions of the abdominal core. The research results establish a theoretical basis for the effectiveness of abdominal core muscle strength performance in athletes.
