Research on the Impact of Prolonged Weighted Training on Gait
This study evaluates the influence of prolonged weighted training on gait,aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for refining training programs.METHOD:Fifteen healthy male military academy cadets underwent an 8-week,all-encompassing weighted training,with gait assessments conducted using the VICON system before and after training.RESULTS:(a)Following extended training,spatiotemporal parameters exhibited minimal changes under weighted conditions.(b)Joint kinematics showed non-significant alterations in hip joint angles(P>0.05),while ankle dorsiflexion angles significantly increased(P<0.05).(c)Dynamic parameters indicated fewer significant changes in joint torques,with torque variations noted between the left and right sides.CONCLUSION:After prolonged training,cadets demonstrated enhanced weight-bearing capabilities.SUGGESTION:Adopt ankle joint driving mechanisms,and highlight the importance of targeted strength training for the ankle joint.
