Seven Weeks Of 10-20-30 Running Effectively Improves Health Profile And Performance In Trained Runners

PURPOSE: To examine whether an intensified training regime (10-20-30 training) can improve the health profile and performance in moderately trained runners. METHODS: Eighteen trained runners (6 females and 12 males with VO sub(2)-max of 50.9+ or -2.0 and 52.4+ or -1.6 ml super(.)kg super(-1) super(....

Description
Summary:	PURPOSE: To examine whether an intensified training regime (10-20-30 training) can improve the health profile and performance in moderately trained runners. METHODS: Eighteen trained runners (6 females and 12 males with VO sub(2)-max of 50.9+ or -2.0 and 52.4+ or -1.6 ml super(.)kg super(-1) super(.)min super(-1), respectively) were divided into two matched groups; an intermittent training group (INT; n=10) and a control group (CON; n=8). RESULTS: After 7 weeks of 10-20-30 training total and LDL cholesterol were lowered (p<0.05) in INT (4.8+ or -0.4 vs. 4.3+ or -0.3 and 2.7+ or -0.3 vs. 2.3+ or -0.3 mmol super(.)l super(-1), respectively) as well as systolic BP (125+ or -3 vs. 120+ or -4 mmHg p<0.05). In INT, VO sub(2)-max and 5-K performance was improved (p<0.05) by 4% (51.6 vs. 53.8 ml super(.)kg super(-1) super(.)min super(-1)) and 3% (23:22+ or -1:04 vs. 22:40+ or -0:54 min:s), respectively, whereas no changes were observed for CON.
