Stone, BL, Heishman, AD, and Campbell, JA. The effects of an experimental vs. traditional military training program on 2-mile run performance during the army physical fitness test. J Strength Cond Res 34(12): 3431-3438, 2020-The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of an experimental vs. traditional military run training on 2-mile run ability in the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets. Fifty college-aged cadets were randomly placed into 2 groups and trained for 4 weeks with either an experimental running program (EXP, n = 22) comprised rating of perceived exertion (RPE) intensity-specific, energy system-based intervals or with traditional military running program (TRA, n = 28) using a crossover study design. A 2-mile run assessment was performed just before the start, at the end of the first 4 weeks, and again after the second 4 weeks of training after crossover. The EXP program significantly decreased 2-mile run times (961.3 ± 155.8 seconds to 943.4 ± 140.2 seconds, p = 0.012, baseline to post 1), whereas the TRA group experienced a significant increase in run times (901.0 ± 79.2 vs. 913.9 ± 82.9 seconds) over the same training period. There was a moderate effect size (d = 0.61, p = 0.07) for the experimental run program to "reverse" the adverse effects of the traditional program within the 4-week training period (post 1 to post 2) after treatment crossover. Thus, for short-term training of military personnel, RPE intensity-specific running program comprising aerobic and anaerobic system development can enhance 2-mile run performance superior to a traditional program while reducing training volume (60 minutes per session vs. 43.2 minutes per session, respectively). Future research should extend the training period to determine efficacy of this training approach for long-term improvement of aerobic capacity and possible reduction of musculoskeletal injury.
石，BL，海斯曼，AD，坎贝尔，JA。实验性与传统军事训练方案对陆军体能测试 2 英里跑成绩的影响。J 力量与调节研究 34(12)：3431-3438，2020-本研究的目的是比较实验性与传统军事跑步训练对陆军后备军官训练团学员 2 英里跑能力的影响。50 名大学生学员被随机分为 2 组，分别接受 4 周的实验性跑步训练（EXP，n = 22），包括根据感觉疲劳强度、能量系统进行特定的、基于能量系统的间歇训练，或传统的军事跑步训练（TRA，n = 28），采用交叉研究设计。在开始前、第 4 周结束时以及交叉训练后的第 2 个 4 周后，进行了 2 英里跑评估。EXP 方案显著降低了 2 英里跑时间（961.3 ± 155.8 秒至 943.4 ± 140.2 秒，p = 0.012，基线至第 1 期），而 TRA 组在同一训练期间跑时间显著增加（901.0 ± 79.2 秒对 913.9 ± 82.9 秒）。在治疗交叉后的 4 周训练期间（第 1 期至第 2 期），实验性跑步方案对传统方案的负面效应有中等效应量（d = 0.61，p = 0.07），可“逆转”。因此，对于短期军事人员训练，由有氧和无氧系统发展组成的特定 RPE 强度的跑步方案可以提高 2 英里跑成绩，优于传统方案，同时减少训练量（每次训练 60 分钟对每次训练 43.2 分钟）。未来的研究应延长训练时间，以确定这种训练方法对长期提高有氧能力和可能减少肌肉骨骼损伤的效果。
