| Abstract |
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the study was to compare anaerobic capacity(AC) in wingate test and anaerobic work capacity(AWC) in Critical Power test for male and female college students.
METHOD
Both tests were administered to 13 male and 16 female subjects by using a Monark cycle ergometer.
RESULT
The results of this study were shown that men were 17%(J/kg) higher than women in AC for the Wingate test, but no gender difference(J/kg) in AWC for the Critical Power test. There was a significant correlation between AC(J/㎏) and AWC(J/㎏) in women(r=0.52, p<.05), but no significant correlation in men(r=-0.13, p>.05).
CONCLUSION
ANCOVA analyses using VO 2 max and body weight as covariates had significant effect on the AWC gender difference. The study provides preliminary data on gender differences of anaerobic capabilities. |
