Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the training during the tapering period in middle- and long-distance runners in Japan. Method: In this study, 228 subjects （60 junior high school students, 76 high school students, 58 university students, and 34 runners from company teams） were included in the analysis. Changes in the duration of the tapering period, and the mileage, intensity, and frequency of jogging, interval running, and pace running during the tapering period were investigated. For statistical analysis, the χ^2 test and residual analysis were used. Result: 53.0% of the runners, excluding middle school students, answered that the tapering period was less than five days. Regarding training during the tapering period, except for the junior high school students, most of the races decreased the mileage of training and maintained the intensity and frequency of training. On the other hand, junior high school students had significantly more increased training mileage and frequency during the tapering period. Conclusion: Runners in Japan may have a short tapering period. Junior high school students may be using strategies that contrast with those recommended.
