Despite strength training (ST) being well characterized by professional runners, little is known about the inclusion of ST models for recreational runners. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the presence of ST in the training practices of recreational runners, with a focus on understanding its characteristics and the motivations of recreational athletes for including ST in their routines. To this end, 801 recreational runners (493 male and 308 female) completed a structured questionnaire regarding their training habits, the inclusion of ST, and its characteristics, concerning the type of ST, training volume, and the reasons for including ST in their training programs. To assess the possible associations between categorical variables, data were analyzed using the chi-square test for independent samples. Approximately 625 runners (78.1%) reported that they included ST in their training routine, with a statistically significant difference between the sexes (men: 73.5% vs. women: 85.4%; X = 14.09; = 0.01). Traditional strength training (TST) was the predominant type of ST included (78.5%), with most participants performing 2-4 sets and 8-12 repetitions per set at a frequency of 3-4 sessions per week. The importance of ST was primarily attributed to performance improvement (85%). The results suggest that recreational runners incorporate different types of ST into their training routines, with TST being the predominant type perceived by runners as a valuable asset for improving running performance.
尽管专业跑步者对力量训练（ST）已有充分了解，但对于休闲跑步者采用的力量训练模式却知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在调查休闲跑步者训练实践中力量训练的情况，重点是了解其特点以及休闲运动员将力量训练纳入日常训练的动机。为此，801名休闲跑步者（493名男性和308名女性）完成了一份关于他们训练习惯、力量训练的纳入情况及其特点的结构化问卷，内容涉及力量训练的类型、训练量以及将力量训练纳入训练计划的原因。为了评估分类变量之间可能存在的关联，使用独立样本卡方检验对数据进行分析。约625名跑步者（78.1%）报告称他们在训练常规中纳入了力量训练，性别之间存在统计学显著差异（男性：73.5% 对女性：85.4%；X = 14.09；P = 0.01）。传统力量训练（TST）是所纳入的力量训练的主要类型（78.5%），大多数参与者每周进行3 - 4次训练，每次进行2 - 4组，每组8 - 12次重复。力量训练的重要性主要归因于运动表现的提高（85%）。结果表明，休闲跑步者在其训练常规中纳入了不同类型的力量训练，其中传统力量训练是跑步者认为对提高跑步表现有价值的主要类型。
