The effect of anaerobic training on some functional, biochemical and physical variables and the achievement of the 100m sprint in young men

Abstract

The systems required to produce energy vary depending on the type of sporting activity. Some activities require the anaerobic energy system, others require the aerobic energy system, and there are activities that rely on a mixture of both systems. Some situations during sporting competitions require rapid movement to perform a specific skill task, and thus muscular work is characterized by an anaerobic nature. The aim of the research was to identify the values of some indicators of anaerobic endurance and some physical characteristics of 100m runners. Also, to prepare anaerobic training for young 100m runners, to identify the effect of anaerobic training on some functional, biochemical and physical variables and the achievement of the 100m runner among young people. The researchers used the experimental method for one group with pre- and post-measurement to suit the research context. The research sample was selected intentionally from (100) m runners from Al-Zubair Sports Club, registered in the Iraqi Central Athletics Federation for the year: 2024 2025, numbering (4) youth competitors aged (18) years. Anaerobic exercises were applied to the research sample and it was concluded that anaerobic exercises had a significant impact on improving performance even with the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood. The training prepared by the researchers had a clear impact on improving the level of (acceleration - speed endurance - speed-related strength). The training prepared by the researchers had an impact on the level of achievement in the (100) m race.
