The effect of speed endurance exercises on some biochemical and physiological variables and the 400m hurdles performance of young men

Abstract

Introduction and Importance of the Research:

Sports training is defined as "a general form of training and one of the areas of sports activity that works to raise the level of achievement of the athlete to reach the highest levels in the sports activity practiced." It is also defined as "the educational and developmental processes that aim to nurture and prepare male and female players and sports teams through planning and field-based applied leadership, aiming to achieve the highest possible level and results in specialized sports and maintain them for the longest possible period."

Research Objectives:

Developing speed endurance exercises for the category  Youth in the 400m Hurdles Event.

Research Hypotheses:

There are significant and statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in the experimental group and the achievement of the 400m hurdles, in favor of the post-tests.

Research Areas:

Human Domain: The sample included (8) runners from the youth league at Al-Zubair and Al-Qurna Sports Club for the 2024 sports season.

Conclusions:

The speed-endurance exercises prepared by the researchers have a positive role in developing the biochemical and functional variables and achieving the 400m hurdles.

Recommendations:

Great attention must be paid to speed-endurance exercises for 400m hurdlers
