Research on Application of Heart Rate Monitoring in Middle and Long-Distance Running Training for Juniors
This study employs literature research method,experimental method,and statistical analysis to examine heart rate monitoring in a sample of 10 junior middle and long-distance runners from a sports school.Using Polar heart rate monitors,various metrics were measured during two interval training sessions,including baseline heart rate,pre-exercise heart rate,maximum heart rate,the time at which maximum heart rate occurs,the time to reach target heart rate,average heart rate,and recovery heart rate after three minutes.Comparative analysis of the two test sessions reveals that as training levels improve,junior middle and long-distance runners with longer training durations exhibit higher heart rate reserves and later occurrences of target heart rate.A pre-training heart rate around 120 bpm appears to help these athletes engage more effectively in formal training.The maximum heart rate can exceed the target heart rate,occurring either during training or immediately after its completion.Additionally,heart rate changes in junior middle and long-distance runners are easily influenced by psychological,physiological,and external factors.SUGGESTIONS:Coaches should utilize Polar heart rate monitors to track heart rate fluctuations during junior middle and long-distance training.This approach can enhance monitoring methods and improve the scientific rigor of training for young athletes.When using heart rate as a monitoring tool,coaches should strive to minimize the influence of psychological,physiological,and external factors to reduce discrepancies and accurately assess athletes'heart rate variations.
