Abstract

Elite athletes have been exercise regularly for several years with heavy training loads. The former elite athletes commonly decreased or stop their exercise that might decrease their anaerobic capacity. Eighteen male former elite athletes and nineteen non elite athletes participated on this research. The running based anaerobic test (RAST) was done to investigate anaerobic capacity included Maximal Power, Minimal Power, Velocity and Fatigue index. The blood lactate levels were measured two minute after RAST. The rate of maximal power of former elite athlete 387.3 watts, minimal power 242.2 watts, fatigue index 3.67 and blood lactate level 7.20. The rate of maximal power of non elite athlete was 445.8 watts, minimal power 282.4 watts, fatigue index 4.57 and blood lactate level 7.01. There were no differences of maximal power (p = 0.251), minimal power (p = 0.166), fatique index (p = 0.203) and blood lactate level (p = 0,878). The velocity and body mass index were difference between former elite athlete and non elite athlete (p = 0.000). There was no different of the anaerobic capacity and blood lactate level between former elite athlete and non elite athletes. The age, mass body index and less exercise may influence the decreasing of anaerobic capacity of former elite athlete.
