Abstract
This study is a case study of whether it is possible to correct running motions by training using an anti-gravity treadmill for middle-distance college female runner who could not derive the corrections of running motions as expected. The subject was trained 25 times in about five months using an anti-gravity treadmill for the purpose of correcting running motions. As a result, there were changes in the ankle joint angle tends to flex the sole during jog, shortening of contact time, and increase in flight time before and after training for running motion correction using an anti-gravity treadmill. In addition, there was a change in the waveform of the ground reaction force from the heel strike tendency to the forefoot tendency. Also, the subject’s 800m self-record was updated for about 4 seconds. These changes were roughly the contents that the subject herself aimed at correcting the running motion before the training for the running motion correction using the anti-gravity treadmill. From the above, it is considered that there is a possibility that the running motion can be effectively corrected by using the anti-gravity treadmill.
