Objective: Explore effective training methods for speed and strength of runners in track and field events. Methods: 20 runners from the national team were randomly selected into an experimental and control group. The 10 runners in the experimental group were trained by a combination of traditional strength training and core strength training. The control group performed traditional training. All of them were subjected to fitness indicators to perform the tests. Results: There were significant differences in the speed quality index of 60 meters, and 100 meters and the strength quality index of standing triple jump, long jump, and half squat; the experiment in the control group evidenced significant differences in the speed quality index of 30 meters, 60 meters, 100 meters, and the strength quality index of standing triple jump and standing long jump; significant differences between the experimental group and the control group were evidenced in the speed quality indexes of 60 meters, 100 meters and in the strength quality indexes of triple jump and standing half squat.
