Original scientific paper The aim of this study was to find out the differences between perimeter and post basketball players in aerobic and anaerobic parameters. Thirty-four basketball players from four Bosnian teams were measured for body composition (body height and weight, fat%, fat free mass), aerobic power (VO2max prediction estimated using the multistage shuttle run test), anaerobic capa...

Purpose: This clinical study was carried out with the aim of investigating whether Hatha Yoga (HY) training affects aerobic and anaerobic power in healthy young adults. Material and method: 33 sedentary, healthy, young adult subjects, aged 18 to 26 were divided into two groups according to age, sex and activity levels. 10 female and 7 male (mean 20.06 +/2.41 years, range 18-26 years) young adul...

objective(s)this study was designed to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on body composition, aerobic and anaerobic power, strength, plasma lipids profile and serum glucose among collegiate wrestlers.materials and methods fourteen male collegiate wrestlers (age, 20.12±2.5 yrs) volunteered as subjects for the study. subjects were tested one week before the beginning of ramadan, the last two...

This study examined the extent to which aerobic power could account for performance during a 30-s max-effort test. Physically active women (n = 41) and men (n = 34) underwent a treadmill test for aerobic power and the Wingate test for anaerobic power and fatigue. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated from Wingate segments of various durations and temporal positions. Fo...

OBJECTIVES The study aims to analyse the physiological characteristics of top level off-road motocross, enduro, and desert rally motorcyclists to facilitate the design of a specific training program. METHODS Twenty seven off-road top level riders participated in this study which measured anthropometric data, maximum aerobic power with incremental tests of both arms and legs, isokinetic dynamo...

The data from the study reveals the normal cardiopulmonary responses in untrained subjects (18-19 yrs) and their aerobic power. Fifty male medical students in the given age group were selected for the study. They were subjected to moderate, predetermined, graded exercise on a bicycle ergograph and parameters like heart-rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate were recorded at rest, just after ...

BACKGROUND Practising the martial art of taekwon-do (TKD) has been proposed to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular fitness as well as general physical ability. Furthermore, TKD masters and participants have promoted TKD as a total fitness programme. Research studies substantiating this, however, seem to be lacking, perhaps because TKD is recognised more as a method of self defence than a ...
