The Effects of Mornıng and Evenıng Runnıng on Respıratory Functıon and Lower Extremıty Strength in Pre-Adolescent Male Footballers

Running training It was performed between 08:00 and 10:00 for morning running and between 18:00 and 20:00 for evening running (Bessot et al., 2014). The exercise intensity of each child in the running group was determined as the 50% heart rate (HR) according to the Karvonen formula (target pulse: (220-age-basal pulse) × intensity) + basal pulse). HR was determined via a telemetric heart rate monitor (PolarM400, Finland) during the first week of running training. Environmental conditions are known to influence the degree of airway epithelial disruption during high-intensity exercise (Boukelia et al., 2017). Therefore, all the participants performed continuous running exercise on a football field in Kelkit/Gümüşhane/Turkey (altitude: 1373 m). It was performed for 50 minutes (including 10 min warm-up and cool-down), 3 days a week, for 8 weeks at the set target heart rate. Each session was supervised by trainers. Running included approximately 10 minutes of warm-up and cool-down with stati
