The Effect of Training According to the Target Time on Speed Endurance and Digital Achievement of 400 M Freestyle Runners for the Youth Category

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to prepare exercises according to the target time according to the scientist (Frank’s) equation to develop speed endurance and digital achievement of 400-meter freestyle runners for young men, and to identify the effect of these exercises between the two groups in improving speed endurance and digital achievement of 400-meter freestyle runners for youth. The research hypotheses were that there are differences Statistically significant between the cardio and posttests according to the target time for speed endurance and digital achievement for 400 meter runners for the two research groups (control and experimental). The researcher also hypothesized that there are statistically significant differences between the two tests (pre and post) for training according to the target time for speed endurance and digital achievement for 400 runners. meters for members of the experimental group compared to the control group, and that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups for the post-test as a result of exercises according to the target time and their impact on the variables under study. The exercises are prepared according to the target time to develop speed endurance and achievement for the two research groups (control and experimental) and the achievement of the 400-meter freestyle runners among young men. The researcher used (the experimental method) by designing two groups (control and the experimental group). The researcher identified the research population as runners of the Iraqi clubs for the 400m freestyle event, numbering (10) runners. The researcher chose a research sample in a random manner and they were divided into two groups using the same previous method into two groups (control, experimental). 5 runners per group. The Frank equation was used in training to achieve the target time, the 300-meter running test was used to measure speed endurance, the 400-meter freestyle test was used, and the statistical package (SPSS) was used. The relevant means were chosen by comparing the results in the pre- and post-tests, which are the standard deviation, the arithmetic mean, Levene’s test, and the correlation coefficient. Simple Pearson's T-test for matched samples and analysis of variance (F) test. The researcher concluded that training according to the target time and according to the scientist Frank’s equation had an effective effect in developing speed endurance and achieving the target time for the 400 m freestyle event for youth. The researcher recommended relying on the exercises that were prepared and according to the target time according to A Frank equation to develop speed endurance and achieve the target time for the youth 400m freestyle event.
