Abstract

Introduction:  Fartlek running is a sprint that changes speed across a variety of terrain. It's a run that has an alternating intensity of speed. This will cause the use of aerobic and anaerobic energy and affect the body's energy metabolism.


Objective: . To study the physical characteristics of different walking and running routes distance in Mae Fah Luang University and to study the energy expenditure while walking and running for each route distance of students and staff of Mae Fah Luang University.


Methods: It was an experimental study. There were 4 study routes in Mae Fah Luang University and 40 sample groups were used, divided into 4 groups: 1) 10 male students, 2) 10 female students, 3) 10 male staff, and 4) 10 female staff, walked and ran in a fartlek style along the specified route to find the energy expenditure (calories) at used in each workout by using a wrist smart watch and GPS tracking system to analyze data using descriptive statistics. and one-way ANOVA analysis with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).


 Results: The physical characteristics of the 4 routes are as follows: route 1, it is a total distance of 5.45 kilometers, an accumulated slope of 60 meters (Ascent), and the longest slope distance of 1,560 meters; route 2, it is a total distance of 5.23 kilometers, an accumulated slope of 35 meters (Ascent), and the longest slope distance of 590 meters; route 3, it is a total distance of 5.32 kilometers, an accumulated slope of 15 meters (Ascent) and the longest slope distance 590 meters and route 4, it is a total distance of 5.00 kilometers, an accumulated slope of 10 meters (Ascent) and the longest slope distance of 350 meters. It was found that the variables of gender, age, weight and height of all 4 sample groups had an effect on energy expenditure (Kcal). Route 4 showed the highest energy expenditure.


Conclusion: This study provided route data and physical characteristics and the distance walking and running routes and routes in Mae Fah Luang University to promote health through exercise by walking and running for health. It is a guideline for planning energy expenditure from exercise to control body weight by increasing the body's energy metabolism.
