Background: Sport performance in football players is determined by Aerobic and Anaerobic power in them. Aerobic power is best indicated by VO2max. VO2max is maximum capacity of individual’s body to transport and utilize the oxygen during exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of individual. Anaerobic power is power produced in absence of oxygen. Anaerobic capacity is useful in sprints in...

OBJECTIVE Anaerobic capacity assessment in rehabilitation has received increasing scientific attention in recent years. However, anaerobic capacity is not tested consistently in clinical rehabilitation practice. This study reviews tests and protocols for anaerobic capacity in adults with various disabilities (spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, cerebral vascular accident, lower-limb amputation(...

The purpose of the study was to compare anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity test scores between young active men and women. Three performance measures of anaerobic power and two of anaerobic capacity were administered to a sample comprising 52 male and 50 female college students (means age = 21.4 yrs). Results indicated significant differences between men and women in body height, weight and...

Fifty-four female and 77 male hockey players ranging in age from 10-15 years volunteered for this study. Demographic data included: age (AGE) and years of playing experience (YPE). Off-ice tests included: height (HGT), body mass (BM), lean body mass (LBM), predicted body fat % @AT%), 40-yard dash (40YD), vertical jump (VJ), push-upslmin (PUPS), sit-upslmin (SUPS), and sit-and-reach flexibility ...

BACKGROUND Wrestling was an important part of the ancient Olympic Games and is still one of the most popular events of the modern Olympic Games. Studies indicate that general physiologic profile of successful wrestlers is high anaerobic power and capacity, muscular strength, above average aerobic power, exceptional flexibility, fat free mass, and a mesomorphic somatotype. OBJECTIVES The objec...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of time-of-day-specific training on the diurnal variations of short-term performances in boys. Twenty-four boys were randomized into a morning-training-group (07:00-08:00h; MTG), an evening-training-group (17:00-18:00h; ETG) and a control-group (CG). They performed four tests of strength and power (unilateral isometric maximal voluntary contraction...

BACKGROUND: Fitness could influence task performance in police officers. Limited research details relationships between different fitness characteristics and police-specific tasks. OBJECTIVE: Determine anaerobic aerobic capacity with performance. METHODS: Data for 308 recruits was analysed. tests included: push-ups, sit-ups, mountain climbers (muscular endurance); pull-ups (strength); vertical ...
