Heutzutage geht es bei der Leistungssteigerung darum, schwere Gewichte mit wenigen Wiederholungen zu heben und sich dabei auf komplexe Bewegungen und plyometrische \u00dcbungen zu konzentrieren. Das mag kontraintuitiv erscheinen, insbesondere f\u00fcr Langstreckenl\u00e4ufer, da Kraft und Ausdauer zwei gegens\u00e4tzliche Extreme darstellen. Die Vorteile dieser Art von Training f\u00fcr Kurz- und Langstreckenl\u00e4ufer sind jedoch unbestreitbar.<\/span>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Krafttraining ist hilfreich, um Verletzungen vorzubeugen, indem es Muskeln und Bindegewebe st\u00e4rkt., <strong>F\u00f6rderung der Lauf\u00f6konomie<\/strong> durch Training des Zentralnervensystems (ZNS) und <strong>steigende Geschwindigkeit<\/strong> durch Verbesserung der Muskelkraft und Koordination.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Warum sollte man sich auf wenige Wiederholungen, hohe Gewichte und Plyometrie konzentrieren?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Das Ziel des Krafttrainings f\u00fcr L\u00e4ufer ist es, <strong>die Muskelkraftsteigerung,<\/strong> was zu st\u00e4rkeren Muskelkontraktionen in k\u00fcrzerer Zeit f\u00fchrt.

Und mit erh\u00f6hter Kraftentfaltung werden die Muskeln st\u00e4rker, schneller und leistungsf\u00e4higer, was zu einer besseren Lauf\u00f6konomie f\u00fchrt.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Studien zeigen, dass zweimal w\u00f6chentliches Krafttraining mit geringem Umfang und Plyometrie <strong>Verbesserung sowohl der maximalen als auch der reaktiven Kraftf\u00e4higkeiten f\u00fcr L\u00e4ufer.<\/strong> W\u00e4hrend der Rennsaison empfehlen Studien, dies auf eine Einheit pro Woche zu reduzieren, um die Kraftqualit\u00e4ten zu erhalten und gleichzeitig mehr Zeit f\u00fcr die Erholung zu haben.

It has been found that heavy-load strength training better conditions the CNS to transmit electrical signals from the brain to muscles, increasing the rate of force development in the muscles. And with increased force production muscle becomes stronger, quicker, and more powerful, translating to better running economy.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Studies show that strength training twice a week, with low volume and plyometrics, can \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;improve both maximal and reactive strength capabilities for runners.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; During the racing season studies advise reducing this to one session per week to maintain strength qualities while allowing more time for recovery.
