The purpose of this study was to analyze the contribution of anthro pometrical physiological characteristics underlying 5000 meter running performance in high school male distance runners.
It has been pointed out that a number of anthropometrical nd physical attributes such as body size, body composition, running economy, pulmonary function, cardiovascular-respiratory function and running history as well as maximal oxygen consumption have relatively association with success in the long distance running performance.
Based on the statistical analysis, significant difference (p<0.05) was found between high group runners and low group runners.
Enclosed is a summary of the lab test result, field test result.
1. The significant factor determining competitive success in the 5000meter run for high school male long distance runners were their maximal oxygen consumption and the level of Lactate acid.(r=0.87, r=0.86)
2. The reslationship between height and weight 5,000 meter running performance was not significant for high group and low group(r=0.37, r=0.49)
3. There was no significant relationship between percent body fat and body comosition and 5,000meter performance for both.
