Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of a series of aerobic exercises involving running on a treadmill with varying slopes (+5, -5, 0) on performance indicators in mountain runners. Mountain running is a prevalent long-distance running race that demands significant aerobic endurance besides speed, making it primarily an aerobic or endurance event. Coaches and researchers are continuously exploring novel training techniques to enhance athletic performance. In this context, numerous training models have been suggested to boost performance. Researchers suggest that a combination of uphill and downhill training can enhance performance. Despite the acknowledged significance of uphill and downhill running, there is a scarcity of scientific studies in this area.
Method: In this study, 40 healthy and young endurance and semi-endurance runners were randomly selected. Then, the participants were randomly and equally divided into four groups: a control group and three aerobic exercise groups with slopes of +5, -5, and 0. All three exercise groups engaged in aerobic exercises on the treadmill for 8 weeks, with three sessions per week under the supervision of the researcher. Finally, the researchers measured the indicators of maximum aerobic power, maximum anaerobic power, and average anaerobic power. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, one-way ANOVA, and dependent t-tests, with a significance level set at p<0.05.
Findings: The results showed that the indicators of maximum aerobic power, maximum anaerobic power, and average anaerobic power in all three groups of inclines (+5, -5, 0) increased significantly compared to before training. Additionally, the comparison of the groups after training also revealed an increase in maximum aerobic power, maximum anaerobic power, and average anaerobic power in the intervention groups (5+, -5, 0) compared to the control group. Only the mean anaerobic power index in the training group with a slope of (-5) had a significant increase compared to the training groups with slopes of (+5) and (0).
Conclusion: By enhancing the aerobic and anaerobic performance of runners through negative, positive, and zero slope running training, there is a possibility that this training method could contribute to the enhancement of aerobic power in athletes.
