Physiological and training characteristics in marathon runners: The role of experience

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine physiological and training characteristics in marathon runners with different sport experience (defined as the number of finishes in marathon races). Methods: The anthropometry and physiological characteristics of men recreational endurance runners with three or less finishes in marathon races (n=69, age 43.5±8.0 years) and four or more finishes (n=66, 45.2±9.4 years) were compared. Results: More experienced runners had faster personal best marathon time (3:44±0:36 vs. 4:20±0:44 h:min, p<0.001, respectively), lower flexibility (15.9±9.3 vs. 19.3±15.9 cm, p=0.022), abdominal (20.6±7.9 vs. 23.8±9.0 mm, p=0.030) and suprailiac skinfold thickness (16.7±6.7 vs. 19.9±7.9 mm, p=0.013), body fat assessed by bioimpedance analysis 13.0±4.4 vs. 14.6±4.7%, p=0.047), more weekly training days (4.6±1.4 vs. 4.1±1.0 days, p=0.038) and longer weekly running distance (58.8±24.0 47.2±16.1 km, p=0.001) than their less experienced counterparts. The number of finishes in marathon races correlated with squat and (r=-0.41, p=0.021) countermovement jump (r=-0.38, p=0.032), and with weekly training days (r=0.19, p=0.030) and running distance (r=0.25, p=0.004). Conclusion: The findings indicated that long-term marathon training might induce adaptations in endurance performance, body composition and flexibility. An interpretation of the lower score of flexibility in the more experienced group might be its relationship with running economy. The negative relationship of the number of finishes with indices of muscle strength (jump tests) suggested a negative adaptation of muscle strength to endurance training.
