Training Effect of Animal Biomimetic Training on Specialized Techniques of Track and Field Athletes

Objective Explore the effects of animal biomimetic training on improving the physical fitness (PF) of track and field athletes, 100 m special test scores, running steps, ankle joint angles, rear stepping angles, angles between the two thighs, swinging legs and thigh forward lifting angles, trunk flexion angles, knee joint angles (KJAs), and tibial contact angles. Methods Using the randomization principle, 50 track and field players from six sports colleges in Southwest China were chosen and split into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). Among them, the EG received animal biomimetic training, while the CG received conventional training. The effectiveness of animal biomimetic training was analyzed by observing athletes’ PF, 100 m special test scores, running steps, ankle joint angles, rear stepping angles, angles between the two thighs, swinging legs and thigh forward lifting angles, trunk flexion angles, KJAs, and tibial contact angles. Results After animal biomimetic training, the results of sitting forward bending and physical agility tests in the PF index of the EG were significantly different from those of the CG ( p < 0.05). The ankle joint angles of the athletes in the EG were significantly higher than those of the CG ( p < 0.001). Both training methods had a positive effect on improving athletes’ specialized skills ( p < 0.05). The rear stepping angle, swinging legs and thigh forward lifting angle, trunk flexion angles, and angle between the two thighs of the athletes in the EG were significantly lower than those of the CG ( p < 0.05). The KJA and tibial contact angles of the athletes in the EG were significantly lower than those of the CG ( p < 0.001). Conclusion Animal biomimetic training can improve the PF of track and field athletes, 100 m special test results, running steps, ankle joint angles, rear stepping angles, angles between the two thighs, swinging legs and thigh forward lifting angles, trunk flexion angles, KJAs, and tibial contact angles. This type of training enhances the specialized skills of track and field athletes and provides technical support for performance increase.
