This study examined the hypothesis that running speed over 800- and 1,500-m races is regulated by the prevailing anaerobic (oxygen independent) store (ANS) at each instant of the race up until the all-out phase of the race over the last several meters. Therefore, we hypothesized that the anaerobic power that allows running above the speed at maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is regulated by ANS, a...

Age related differences in anaerobic mean and peak power outputs were examined in 21 preadolescent (Tanner Stage = 1) boys (age 11.1yrs.±0.3) and 23 male adults (age 20.2yrs.±0.6). The investigation protocol included anthropometric measurements (determination of stature, body weight and fat free mass-FFM by bioelectrical impedence analysis) and the 30-s all-out Wingate anaerobic test on a cycle...

CONTEXT There are significant data comparing elite and nonelite athletes in anaerobic field and court sports as well as endurance sports. This review delineates specific performance characteristics in the elite athlete and may help guide rehabilitation. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A Medline search from April 1982 to April 2012 was undertaken for articles written in English. Additional references wer...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the anaerobic components of the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) and of the 30-second Wingate anaerobic test (30-WAnT). Nine male physical education students performed: a) a maximal incremental exercise test; b) a supramaximal constant workload test to determine the anaerobic components of the MAOD; and c) a 30-WAnT to m...
