Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the aerobic and anaerobic powers of students in different grades of the schools and describe the correlation between these powers. Upon the written approval of Samsun National Education Management, this study was carried out with the voluntary participation of 120 females and 120 males aged 11–16, who were healthy and were not active in sports. The total number of the subjects participating in the study was 240. The aerobic and anaerobic power tests of the subjects were determined through Cooper and Wingate tests respectively. All statistical calculations were evaluated through the SPSS 13 package program. The relationship between the aerobic and anaerobic powers of male and female students aged 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 was examined through Spearman correlation test. The correlations between anaerobic and aerobic powers of the subjects were as follows: 0.06 for 11-year-olds, 0.43 for 12-year-olds, 0.21 for 13-year-olds, 0.24 for 14-year-olds, 0.27 for 15-year-olds, and 0.12 for 16-year-olds in females while 0.13 for 11-year-olds, 0.01 for 12-year-olds, 0.13 for 13-year-olds, 0.43 for 14-year-olds, 0.23 for 15-year-olds, and 0.56 for 16-year-olds in males. In conclusion, no meaningful correlations between the anaerobic and aerobic powers of subjects were found.

Highlights

  • The increase in sporting competitions between countries has led the physical and psychological forces of athletes to develop in a multi-faceted manner (Arslan, Arslan, & Yıldıran, 2010)

  • The aim of this study is to investigate the aerobic and anaerobic powers of students in different grades of the schools and describe the correlation between these powers

  • A group of students who did not have any active history in sports other than taking physical education course and who did not have a history of chronic diseases were randomly assigned to the study group

Summary

Introduction

The increase in sporting competitions between countries has led the physical and psychological forces of athletes to develop in a multi-faceted manner (Arslan, Arslan, & Yıldıran, 2010). During an increased intensity of exercise, the necessary energy is supplied to a certain extent by the aerobic metabolism. Following this point, aerobic metabolisms become insufficient and anaerobic metabolisms become involved. Aerobic metabolisms become insufficient and anaerobic metabolisms become involved The organism uses these energy production paths in the most rational way. It uses energy requirements at different densities, either prioritizing one of these ways or using both at certain proportions (Açıkada, 2004)
