AB The biomechanics of overground running were compared before and after a month training period which comprised 16 thirty-minute sessions of short duration (5 seconds work, 10 seconds rest) high intensity (4.69 m/sec 20-25% grade) interval treadmill work. For the eight subjects filmed there were no significant changes in support and non support time, stride length or stride rate while running at 3.58 m/sec that could be attributed to the treadmill training regime. This training programme produced significant gains in aerobic and anaerobic metabolism but was not an effective developer of speed.
