The work of strength in sports performance for marathon athletes of Ecuadorian Military Sports Federation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sports performance is the result of an optimal combination of all the skills of the athlete highlighted in the competition, therefore the sport is constantly in innovation and research. There are conflicts between trainers and athletes regarding strength training for marathon athletes, handling concepts that will leave them heavy, tired and with greater muscle mass. The objective of this research is implementing a strength program with overload, using machines and weight exercises, allowing to correlate performance indicators through sampling before and after the strength program. The Isotonic (concentric) contraction method was used to analyze the performance effects of marathon runners focusing on evaluating sports performance indicators such as heart rate, vo2 max, lactate and time of marathon runners of Ecuadorian Military Sports Federation. For the intensity the 1RM (One-Repetition Maximum) of each athlete was determined, in the adaptation phase we worked on Resistance to Strength, and Quick Strength. Technological media such as Accuntrend Plus lactate analyzers were used for research, with their respective test strips; Garmin watches with GPS for HR (Heart Rate) measurement and time.
