Abstract

This study examines the training system for women's heptathlon in higher education institutions, systematically exploring the bidirectional impact of specialized training on physical fitness and psychological resilience through literature analysis. Findings reveal that as a quintessential multi-event combination discipline, heptathlon demands athletes to develop balanced capabilities in speed, strength, endurance, and other physical attributes while also possessing psychological adaptability across multiple events. Research confirms that training methods such as the hurdle-high jump combination not only enhance sport-specific physical fitness but also build overall physical conditioning. Simultaneously, through the training and competition process, psychological resilience is strengthened across dimensions including tenacity and optimism. Psychological resilience provides physiological and psychological support for physical fitness development, while enhanced physical fitness promotes psychological resilience through achievement feedback, forming a dynamic interactive relationship between the two. This research provides a theoretical basis for optimizing training mechanisms for women's heptathlon in higher education institutions and enhancing athletes' comprehensive competitive abilities.
