Anaerobic power and cardiorespiratory evaluation in untrained males (18-19 years).

Exercise is a stressful condition which produces a marked change in body function specially cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous activity. It has been a means of finding out. t.he physical capabilities and physiological responces of ao individual (1). We undertook a study to investigate cardiovascular and respiratory responces to graded exercise in untrained male subjects. Graded exercise on 3 mechanically braked bicycle ergograph was chosen, since progressive workloads can be interspersed with short rest. periods, thus giving the subjects time t.o recover before starting next. period of exercise (Z). The ability to develop power by utilization of the phosphogen system was tested by the vertical jump reach exercise which is a reliable and practical test for determining power of lower extremities (3). This study aims to provide a reference data which may serve 8S a guide for careful monitoring during an exercise procedure. Also anaerobic power testing can be usea as a predicting of track and field abilities.
