Ergometric Criteria of Anaerobic Working Capacity in Athletes of Different Age and Gender

Abstract

The ergometric assessment of anaerobic working capacity in athletes of different age (11–32 years) and gender was carried out. The results showed a well-defined interrelationship between the level of the anaerobic working capacity, the total body sizes, and such a physical (motive) quality as quickness. Athletes with more pronounced signs of an “athletic heart” and a more perfect reaction of the circulatory system under conditions of submaximum physical loads performed short-term muscular work of maximal intensity with greater power, which evidenced their higher level of anaerobic working capacity.
