Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the correlation and differences in running technique variables and running economy among male adolescents with different maturity levels. Method: The study involved 22 male junior high school students, with Peak Height Velocity (PHV) calculated for each participant. Oxygen consumption data were collected while the participants ran on a treadmill at a fixed speed of 8 km/h for 5 minutes. Running technique variables (stride frequency, stride length, contact time, flight time, contact index, stride angle, vertical stiffness, and leg stiffness) and running economy were analyzed using Kwon 3D software from high-speed slow-motion footage. The experimental data were statistically tested using Pearson’s corre-lation and independent samples t-test, with a significance level set atα= .05. Results: Age and maturity were significantly cor-related with stride length, contact time, and stride frequency, while maturity was significantly negatively correlated with run-ning economy. There was a significant negative correlation between running economy and both vertical stiffness and leg stiff-ness. The high maturity group showed significantly higher stride length, contact time, contact index, and vertical stiffness com-pared to the low maturity group, while stride frequency and running economy were significantly lower in the high maturity group. Conclusion: Age and maturity in male adolescents did not affect the overall performance of running technique variables, but there was a significant correlation between running economy and maturity. |
