摘要:The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of physiological and neuromuscular indices with performance in 800 m and 1500 m run. Eleven athletes (17.6±1.4 yrs; 62.2±11.4 kg; 171.4±8.4 cm) were evaluated in the following tests: 1) simulation of performances; 2) incremental treadmill test for determination of maximum oxygen consumption-VO2max; velocity at VO2max-vVO2max and of velocity at OBLA-vOBLA; 3) vertical jumps; 4) running test for determination of Tlim; and 5) submaximal tests for identification of running economy-RE, followed by a supramaximal test for determination of maximum accumulated oxygen deficit-MAOD. vVO2max and Tlim were correlated with both distances, while CJ only to 800m. It is concluded that aerobic power is the main determinant of performance for the two distances, emphasizing that neuromuscular aspects directly influence the 800 m.
