Abstract
Background and Objectives: Anaerobic energy production is extremely important in football as it provides energy at a very high rate during periods of intense activity in a match. The Wingate cycle ergometer test and vertical jump tests have been used to assess anaerobic power in athletes for the purpose of providing vital information regarding anaerobic performance of athletes for given sports. The objective was to correlate vertical jump test with Wingate anaerobic test as a method to assess anaerobic power in football players. Method: 100 football athletes with mean age of 17.18 +1.95 (SD) years were selected. Anthropometric measurements, the vertical jump test and Wingate cycle ergometer test were performed. Peak and mean anaerobic power were determined. Results: Data were analyzed by using SPSS software 14.00 by Pearson Correlation coefficient which showed significant moderately positive correlation between peak power (r = 0.220, p< 0.05) & mean power (r = 0.263, p < 0.05) of vertical jump test and Wingate test. Conclusion: The result suggested that vertical jump tests can be accept as field measures of anaerobic power instead of laboratory-based Wingate anaerobic test in football players.
