Abstract

Sport training did not only acquired greater importance in the recent years but also greatly developed in the skillful, physical, tactical and psychological domains. Such a development was widely great that it covered all athletic events, even including the "Track and Field" ones which gained a significant share of that development. The 400m running race was among these events. In this kind of sports, the player tries, shortly after the start of the race, so that he can reach the maximum speed, and maintain the same rate of speed as much as possible without letting it decrease. In this context, personal endurance (endurance of speed and strength) plays an important role in that it enables a runner to retain uppermost speed as long as possible in a way that increases the probability of race winning. The significance of this research lies in the preparation of special exercises by running on an anti-gravity treadmill, which would help to develop endurance of speed and thus reach the best achievement. The research aims at recognizing of the effects of these special exercises on the development of some physical capabilities and physiological indicators for 400m young runners. The researchers used the experimental method associated with the priori and posterior-tests after applying the exercises to an anti-gravity treadmill that lasted for (8) weeks, then statistical treatments were conducted to come out with conclusions, the most important of which was that the exercises of running on the device helped to develop the endurance of speed and maximum speed, as well as the exercises associated with the anti-gravity treadmill and some other training methods which may have helped the development of the runners' achievement.
