The number of participants in popular races has increased in recent years, with most of them being amateurs. In addition, it has been observed that there is a high percentage of injuries among them, and some of these injuries may be related to a low stride frequency. The aim of this research was to check if a continuous running training program with a musical base improves the stride frequency of popular runners. For this purpose, the effect of a 6 week continuous running training program with the help of a musical track with a constant rhythm that was 10% higher than the preferred stride frequency of the subjects was analyzed and compared to a control group that performed the continuous running training without sound stimuli. Significant increases were found in the evolution of stride frequency in the experimental group between the pre- and post-test ( = 0.002). No significant changes were observed in the stride frequency of the control group. These results show that training with music feedback helps to improve stride frequency in recreational runners. Future research should study the evolution of the improvement obtained in time as it is unknown if the increase in stride rate has been integrated in the runner's technique, making the improvement obtained permanent. Future research is needed to confirm these results by enlarging the sample and carrying out an exhaustive biomechanical study.
近年来，参加热门赛跑比赛的人数有所增加，其中大多数是业余选手。此外，据观察，他们中的受伤比例很高，其中一些损伤可能与步频较低有关。本研究的目的是检验一个以音乐为基础的持续跑步训练计划是否能提高热门跑步者的步频。为此，分析了一个为期6周的持续跑步训练计划的效果，该计划借助一段节奏恒定且比受试者偏好步频高10%的音乐曲目进行，并与一个在无声音刺激下进行持续跑步训练的对照组进行比较。实验组在测试前和测试后的步频变化中发现有显著增加（P = 0.002）。对照组的步频未观察到显著变化。这些结果表明，有音乐反馈的训练有助于提高业余跑步者的步频。未来的研究应该研究随着时间推移所获得的改善情况，因为步频的提高是否已融入跑步者的技术中从而使所获得的改善持久尚不清楚。需要通过扩大样本并进行详尽的生物力学研究来证实这些结果。
