RE has been shown to improve with the addition of concurrent explosive strength training, plyometrics, and heavy load resistance training. However, there is little research on the effects of functional resistance training on RE. Seventeen trained endurance runners (VO2max = 54.5 ± 10.0 mL/kg/min) underwent baseline testing to determine anthropometric, upper body and core muscular endurance tests, RE at two different speeds, and VO2max. Participants were matched for gender and VO2max and randomly assigned to either the 6-week medicine ball (MB; n=9 (4 M)) training group or control (CON; n= 8 (3 M)) group. Tests were repeated after the 6-week MB training program. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA. In all cases, statistical significance was set at p = 0.05. Results of the one-way ANOVA showed a significant change in curl ups (p = 0.03) in the MB group. No significant differences were observed for change in push-ups nor running economy at either speed. Therefore, concluding that a concurrent medicine ball training program improved core musculature endurance without affecting running economy. 2017-07-21 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1500391251626483 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1500391251626483 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
