Testing procedures for the assessment of anaerobic energy metabolism during muscular work have not yet gained the relevance of tests assessing maximal aerobic power. The diagnosis of aerobic power allows one, through the choice of an adequate testing protocol, to design a test that mainly measures the power of aerobic metabolism by means of indicators like VO 2max and lactate. With regard to te...

the purpose of this study was to determine relationship between anthropometric, physiological and body composition characteristics of male elite taekwondo athletes with their success. for this 20 elite male taekwondo (age 25.75, weight 73.6, height 180.55) that invited to national team selected. anthropometric characteristics including weight, height, body fat percentage, bmi, and biomotor and ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the aerobic and anaerobic exercise capacity of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) with healthy controls, to determine if there were differences based on disease onset type, and to examine the relationship between aerobic and anaerobic exercise capacity in children with JIA. METHODS Sixty-two patients with JIA (mean +/- SD age 11.9 +/- 2.2 years, range 6.7-1...

Research has indicated that combined aerobic and anaerobic training (concurrent training) may improve aerobic performance greater than aerobic training alone. The purpose of this investigation was to establish any associations between aerobic and anaerobic performance. Eleven participants (n = 11, age = 34.1 ± 13 years, VO2max = 58.4 ± 7.8) volunteered for this study. Participants were asked fo...

Individual responses to aerobic training vary from almost none to a 40% increase in aerobic fitness in sedentary subjects. The reasons for these differences in the training response are not well known. We hypothesized that baseline cardiovascular autonomic function may influence the training response. The study population included sedentary male subjects (n = 39, 35 +/- 9 yr). The training peri...

We tested the importance of aerobic metabolism to human running speed directly by altering inspired oxygen concentrations and comparing the maximal speeds attained at different rates of oxygen uptake. Under both normoxic (20.93% O2) and hypoxic (13.00% O2) conditions, four fit adult men completed 15 all-out sprints lasting from 15 to 180 s as well as progressive, discontinuous treadmill tests t...

OBJECTIVE to determine the effects of aerobic training on the maximal aerobic power of healthy, very elderly people. DESIGN a 12-week control period followed by 24 weeks of progressive, weight bearing, aerobic training. SUBJECTS 26 men and women aged 79 to 91 years conforming to pre-determined health criteria. METHODS we took measurements before and after a 12 week control period and foll...

PURPOSE Our objective was to relate immunological data for healthy but sedentary elderly women to aerobic power, strength, and mood state. METHODS We measured peak aerobic power and one-repetition maximum strength along with mood (depression and fatigue), quality of life and carbohydrate intake on 42 women aged 60-77 years. Standard immunological techniques determined natural killer cell coun...
