The present study examines the effectiveness of training on antigravity treadmill, as an example. The subject was a university female long distance runner with sports disorder in a leg. The target fought back to the competition after introducing training using antigravity treadmill and won the 10,000 m women of Japan intercollegiate game. As a result of examining the process, it was shown that the muscle function related to running motion could be improved by effectively using the antigravity treadmill training. Also, it was suggested that the lateral difference of running behavior could be improved. In addition, training on running was able to be done continuously and steadily. As others, it was possible to show the possibility that a mental influence will be good. From the above, it can be seen that training using antigravity treadmill could effectively improve competitiveness of long distance runners.
