Comparison of the training exercise by running on a flat surface with the sand that affects physical performance

Abstract

The study aims to compare the effects of exercise by running on a flat surface with runners on the sand floor of male athletics athletes at Roi Et Rajabhat University. 6 samples from purposive sampling. Practice the program by running on a flat surface and running on the sand for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 1 hour per day. Conduct physical fitness tests before and after training. Analyze the mean, standard deviation and compare the mean with the Paired Simple t - test set a statistical significance at 0.05.

The results of the average of training groups running on a flat surface before and after 8 weeks of training found that before training body fat was 9.33 and after training was 8.00, before training vital capacity was 4300.00 and after training was 4400.00, before training leg strength was 195.66 and after training was 207.33. When comparing physical fitness before and after running on flat ground, it was found that the body fat percentages, vital capacity, leg strength, and running speed of 50 meters before and after the training were not statistically significantly at the level of 0.05.

The results of the average training group running on the sand before and after 8 weeks of training found that before training body fat was 13.66 and after training was 11.33, before training vital capacity was 4900.00 and after training was 5266.66, before training leg strength was 211.33 and after training was 216.66. When comparing physical fitness before and after running the sand, it was found that the body fat percentages was statistically significantly at the level of 0.05 but the vital capacity, leg strength, and running speed of 50 meters before and after the training were not statistically significantly at the level of 0.05.
