ABSTRACT
Author(s): Brilli Martin & Puhakka Jukka
Title of the Publication: Running, Strength Training and Nutritional Guide for Trail-Running. Vuo-katti Trail Challenge
Degree Title: Bachelor of Sports and Leisure Management
Keywords: trail-running, endurance training, strength training, nutrition
The aim and purpose of the thesis was to produce a scientifically reliable trail-running guide. One of the objectives was to promote trail-running and make the starting of the sport easier with practical guidance. The guide was produced, in both English and Finnish, to reach more readers.
The commissioning party was chosen to be Kainuun Liikunta Ry, which promotes wellbeing in Kainuu region and organizes mass sport events e.g. Vuokatti Trail Challenge. The guide was published on the webpage of Vuokatti Trail Challenge. The guide was planned to match the design of webpages.
The research tasks were: 1. To make a scientifically reliable guide. 2. To find out how to make the guide clear and practical. 3. To include usable information for both beginners and experienced runners. 4. To set the frames to prevent the guide from branching out too much.
This thesis was a product development process. The process started with planning the guide and collecting scientifically reliable information. Next, the guide was produced and a selected group of people evaluated the first version. This group of people included the supervising teacher, the commissioning party and potential users of guide. The guide content and design was modified based on the feedback and after that, the guide was published.
This thesis and guide can be further used to introduce the basics of trail-running, as well as promotion for the sport and Vuokatti Trail Challenge event. The future opportunities are to go deeper in topics, introduce new areas e.g. recovery, and/or to specialize in different distances.
