A influência do treinamento de força em corredores de Endurance

Abstract

Endurance running requires high biomechanical and physiological efficiency, historically focused on aerobic training volume. However, neglecting other physical capabilities may limit performance and increase the risk of injury, posing a problem for the development of long-distance athletes. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of strength training on the performance of endurance runners. To this end, a bibliographic review was conducted on the PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar platforms, consulting both classical and contemporary literature on the subject. The results demonstrated that muscle strengthening, when well periodized, improves running economy and neuromuscular power, in addition to playing a significant role in injury prevention, without causing deleterious effects to aerobic conditioning. Therefore, it is concluded that the integration of strength training is an indispensable strategy for maximizing performance and ensuring the athletic longevity of the runner.detrimental effects to aerobic conditioning.
