Abstract |
PURPOSE The purposes of this study was to find out the changes in aerobic and anaerobic power, range of motion and isokinetic muscular strength of cyclists during winter training program combined with yoga program to design the program to improve the athletic performance of cyclists. METHODS 13 college male cyclists during winter training were divided into 2 groups.
One group was for winter training combined with yoga training(n=7). The other group was for winter training alone(n=6). After 8 weeks of training, anaerobic power, aerobic power, range of motion, isokinetice strength were measured. RESULTS There was a significant difference(p<.05) between time in peak power and the peak power/body weight of anaerobic power ratio factors.
There was a significant difference(p<.01) between time in the total amount of energy, exercise time, exercise distance, and heart rate of aerobic power factors. There was a significant difference in straight leg raising test, hip extension, trunk extension, and the front split out of range of motion(p<.01). There was a significant difference in right knee extensor between time and in the ratio of right and left ratio of knee flexor between group in peak torque of flexor and extensor of knee(p<.05). CONCLUSIONS We concluded that 8 week yoga program was necessary with winter training program for cyclists. |
