摘要:Purpose The objective was to verify the effects of equal training applied during a training macrocycle on the physiological indicators, body composition measures, and explosiveness of recreational runners. Methods The sample consisted of 12 recreational runners, 7 men and 5 women (aged 42.3 ± 5.4 and 39.2 ± 6.5 years, respectively). The macrocycle was 12 weeks long. In pre- and post-training period, the subjects were submitted to anthropometric measurements and tests to determine the maximal oxygen consumption, velocity associated with maximal oxygen consumption, running economy, and strength of the lower limbs. Results Significant adaptations were verified between the indicators of countermovement jump ( p p Conclusions The results evidenced that the loads applied were sufficient only to generate significant adaptations in the muscle strength and aerobic power of the subjects.
