Abstract

Purpose: the identification of features of the maximum oxygen consumption of women in the first period of mature age and connection with body structure component. Material: 22-35 years old women (n=210) have participated in a research. Results. It was determined that women with endomorphic and mesomorphic somatotype prevail according to the absolute measure VO2 max. They have large body weight and higher percentage content of the muscular component. The women with low body weight and low values of fat component prevail according to a relative measure VO2 max. Large body weight in women of endomorphic, endomorphic and mesomorphic somatotype stipulates low values of a relative measure VO2 max. It is indicated by the high degree of the return correlation between a relative measure VO2 max and body weight. Conclusions. The relative measure VO2 max is considered more informative as its dependence on body weight is leveled. The obtained data indicate the advantage according to a relative measure VO2 max of women with low body weight somatotype (ectomorphic and balanced). Such feature is explained by authentically low percentage content of the fat component in women.

Highlights

  • MethodsParticipants. 22-35 years old women (n=210) have participated in a research. All women were from the main medical group and didn’t go in for sports the last 5 years

  • The women with different somatotypes have other tendencies according to relative measure of VO2 max

  • It is determined the features of display the maximum oxygen consumption in 22-35 years old women with different somatotypes

Summary

Methods

Participants. 22-35 years old women (n=210) have participated in a research. All women were from the main medical group and didn’t go in for sports the last 5 years. 22-35 years old women (n=210) have participated in a research. All investigated persons have agreed to participate in an experiment. Investigated person performed two loads on bicycle ergometer by 5 min. Power of the first load was 1 W on 1 kg of body weight. Power of the second load was 2 W on 1 kg of body weight. The value of VO2 max is calculated in ml∙min-1 The component body structure was determined by the method of a bioelectric impedance with the help of OMRON BF-511. This device analyzes the passing of current through an organism. The device’s indicators determined the percentage of fat tissue in an organism; the percentage of skeletal muscles in an organism and body weight
