Abstract

Running is a practice widely used by those who aim to maintain or improve their physical fitness. Strength training has been recommended to increase performance and reduce injury risk in runners, however, the relationship between muscle strength and running mechanics still requires a better understanding. The aim of the present study was to compare the running biomechanics among bodybuilders, with different levels of absolute strength in the back squat. Initially, 24 volunteers participated in the study. Based on the 10RM absolute strength in the back squat, the volunteers were divided into tertiles: upper strength group (GFS), lower strength group (GFI) and medium strength group. For comparison of running mechanics, GFS and GFI were gained. Dynamic and kinematic parameters were collected during treadmill running. There were no differences between groups for any of the investigated variables.

Keywords: Running mechanics; Muscle strength; Locomotion.
