Abstract:
This study was intended to investigate the effect of mixed interval training recovery short term and long term on middle distance endurance running performance of athletes. Specific objective of this study were: - to assess short and long interval training recovery result of pretest and post-test athletes’ endurance running performance, to identify short and long interval training recovery ;. Before and after 8-weektraining through Circuit training, Repetition training,Explosive Exercise Training, Interval training, Lunge/Sprint Combination Interval training significant difference between pre-test and post-test on athlete endurance running performance and to examine the effect of mixed interval training on athlete endurance running performance . To achieve the intended objective basic research question formulated and purposive sampling technique was used to select participant and the subjects were allowed to participate in this training was 20 athletes were selected. 12 (60%), of them were male athletes and 8 (40%), were female athletes from Bekoji athletics training center during the year of 2018/19. The selected subject was under the quasi-experimental design of before training (pre-test) and post-test after short and long interval training period. The training periods of these groups were eight-weeks, three, (3) days per week with duration of 60 minutes in one session. The data were collectedthrough endurance performance assessment which includes;-cooper-test, vo2max, 2.4kmrun and anthropometry assessment;-weight, height, Body mass index. The endurance running performance variables were statistically analyzed by using spss 21 version .Pre and post test of athlete’ endurance performance analyzed by mean, and Std .Deviation, significance difference of during pre and post test analyzed by Paired-Samples t-test whereas effect of mixed interval training recovery on athlete endurance running performance analyze through multiple regression model. The finding of this study results showed there were significant difference between pre and post test endurance running performance improvement of athlete after training. There was significant change in pre-test and post-test results of short interval training recovery than long interval training recovery, mixed interval training recovery had vital effect to improve athletes ‘endurance running performance significantly.
