ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The changes in muscle condition during jogging are studied according to their characteristics to formulate a correct fitness plan. With a medium effort intensity, studies on jogging have shown positive effects on mental de-stress and motor coordination.
Objective:
Study the effect of running training on muscle fatigue and body balance.
Methods:
A total of 60 sedentary freshmen from a university were selected, including 30 male and 30 female students. The volunteers were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. While the control performed routine sports activities according to the teaching plan during physical education class, the students in the experimental group performed a jogging training protocol. Data were collected before and after the intervention for comparison and statistical analysis.
Results:
The vestibular step test changed from 20.56 to 13.87, evidencing that jogging training significantly improved body balance ability in addition to providing body flexibility.
Conclusion:
Combined with curriculum standards and the level of physical training required, jogging can be integrated into physical education classes to promote student health. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
