Implication

Longitudinal trial evaluates relationship between anaerobic threshold and running performance in trained male runners, suggesting critical physiological connections.

Key Points

This study aims to investigate the relationship between anaerobic threshold and distance-running performance over time in trained runners.
Conducted pre-, mid-, and post-tests over a 4.5-month interval with 21 male endurance runners.
Utilized ANOVA with repeated measures for data analysis.
Analyzed correlations between anaerobic threshold, running velocity, and distance-running performance.
Significant alterations in both distance-running performance and anaerobic threshold were observed.
Anaerobic threshold showed a correlation greater than 0.80 with 10,000-m race time across all tests.
Strong correlations between changes in VO2@AT and changes in distance-running performance (r = -0.56 to -0.83) were found.
