Abstract

If quantified data are provided to detect canoe players early and improve their performance, positive effects of athletes selection, training methods, and performance improvement can be expected. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare and analyze body composition, basic physical fitness, muscle strength, power, and anaerobic power for male canoe players by age to identify quantitative exercise information and reflect them in training methods as well as provide basic data for improving performance. The subjects classified 29 athletes registered with the Korean canoe association into middle school (n=10), high school (n=8), and general (n=11) by age. Isokinetic peak torque/body weight% and flexor/extensor ratio at 60, 180 deg/sec of the knee extension and flexion were measured using an cybex 770. For the anaerobic power test of the lower extremities, the Wingate-test was performed for 30 seconds. Data analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA. From the results of this study, Compared to ACP group, middle (MCP) and high (HCP) school students have muscle strength (p<.001) and Abdominal Endurance (p<.05). We also confirmed higher isokinetic muscle strength and power in the ACP group compared to other groups (p<.05). The above research results are believed to help leaders or sports scientists evaluate players and train them.
