The purposes were: (1) using anaerobic threshold (2-4mmol/l) to test the training load in accuracy; (2) utilizing the shift of the threshold's curve to evaluate training effects. Six male middle-distance runners from a senior high school (age=16.5±0.5 yrs; height=172.6±4.6 cm; weight=64.7±6.6 kg; training years=4.50±0.5yrs) were recruited as subjects. Training load was adopted the concept of anaerobic threshold that has been introduced by Mader (1976). Subjects have been administered a training protocol in a 5 weeks period, since the training effect usually been proposed to occur following 4-6 weeks of training. Data were collected and analyzed by SPSS for Windows 10.0. Pair t-test was performed to examine the difference between pre and post training. Result showed that subjects ran 0.2 m/s and -0.1 m/s (p>.05) faster in post training than pre training for aerobic threshold (2 mmol/l) and anaerobic threshold (4 mmol/l), respectively. The pre-post training difference in heart rate was 6.7min^(-1) and 9.7min^(-1) (p>.05) for training load at aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold, respectively. Apparently the significant level was not reached. However, subjects demonstrated an increase in running speed from 5.0 m/s pre training to 5.5 m/s post training. It has been suggested that an adaptation of by the training load upon the threshold, therefore training effect on speed endurance for distance runner is warranted.
