- Abstract
Regular and systematic aerobic exercise has many and diverse positive effects on man's health and vitality. The study aimed to establish the effect of 24 weeks of complex recreational exercise on the running preparedness of adults and find out the extent to which individual mechanisms of aerobic capacity respond to a complex running exercise. The sample included 11 male subjects, aged on average 47,5 ± 7,7 years. The sample of variables for assessing aerobic and anaerobic capacity included spiroergometric and biochemical parameters which were measured using a graded load treadmill test. The differences between individual parameters in terms of the initial and final levels were established using a t-test for dependent samples. During the load test the final running velocity and the running velocity at VO2max increased by 9,4 % (P < 0,001) and 9,6 % (P < 0,01), respectively, whereas the distance covered in the test run was 18,6 % longer (P < 0,001). The subjects' competitive result in a 10-km run improved by 6 min and 24 sec (11,8 %) (P < 0,001). The improvement in the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) by 7,4 % and 8,4 % (P < 0,001), respectively, is mainly due to better central mechanisms - an increased heart stroke volume (P < 0,001) and maximum minute ventilation (P < 0,05). The blood lactate concentration rose by 10,5 % (P < 0,05). Based on the results it can be concluded that the diverse running programme for the selected adults was efficient as it significantly increased their running endurance. The latter is due to an improvement in their aerobic and anaerobic lactate capacity.
