This study compared water running, cycling, and running for maintaining VO2max and 2-mile run performance over a 6-week training period. Thirty-two trained subjects between the ages of 18 and 26 were evaluated for maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and 2-mile run performance. Subjects were stratified by a 2-mile run pretest into high, medium, and low performance levels and then randomly assigned to water running, cycling, or running training. The three groups trained with similar frequency, duration, and intensity overa 6-week period. After 6 weeks of training, all of the groups made a small but statistically significant decrease in fitness (VO2max), but no change in 2-mile run time. However, there were no differences with respect to either training modality or pretraining performance level. It was concluded that over a 6-week period, runners who cannot run because of soft tissue injury can maintain VO2max and 2-mile run performance similar to running training with either cycling or water running.
本研究比较了在为期6周的训练期间，水中跑步、骑自行车和陆地跑步对维持最大摄氧量（VO2max）和2英里跑成绩的影响。对32名年龄在18至26岁之间的受过训练的受试者进行了最大摄氧量（VO2max）和2英里跑成绩评估。受试者通过2英里跑预测试被分为高、中、低表现水平，然后随机分配到水中跑步、骑自行车或陆地跑步训练组。三组在为期6周的时间里以相似的频率、时长和强度进行训练。经过6周的训练，所有组的体能（VO2max）均出现了微小但具有统计学意义的下降，但2英里跑时间没有变化。然而，无论是训练方式还是训练前的表现水平，均无差异。研究得出结论，在为期6周的时间里，因软组织损伤而无法进行陆地跑步的跑步者，可以通过骑自行车或水中跑步维持与陆地跑步训练相似的VO2max和2英里跑成绩。
