“…Compared to other reports the VO 2 max achieved by male wrestlers in the present study (mean 58.9, ranged from 47.5 to 67.2 ml/min/kg) was greater than reported by Gale et al [10] in the American Olympic team (mean 54.3 ml/min/kg). The present values of VO 2 max were similar to those demonstrated by Yoon [5] in Korean wrestlers (60.0 ml/min/kg).…”

Abstract. Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the aerobic fitness of elite female wrestlers, and to determine whether there are gender differences in the physiological response to graded exercise. Materials and Methods: Ten female and ten male freestyle wrestlers volunteered for the study. They all performed a graded exercise test on the treadmill until exhaustion. To measure lactate concentration capillary blood was taken from the finger tip at the end of every workload and after 3, 5 and 7 minutes of recovery. Anaerobic threshold was defined as the running velocity associated with 4 mmol/l during the incremental exercise test (AT 4 ) and as the individual anaerobic threshold (IAT). Results: Maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2 max) normalized to body mass or to fat free mass was significantly higher in male than in female wrestlers (59.8 and 49.7 ml/min/kg and 72.7 and 63.9 ml/min/kg FFA, respectively). Total oxygen uptake at the anaerobic thresholds (AT 4 and IAT) was similar in men and women, but when expressed as %VO 2 max, it was significantly higher in females. The peak blood lactate concentration was significantly higher in male than in female wrestlers (14.1 and 10.5 mmol/l, respectively). Conclusion: This study was the first to assess the aerobic fitness of female wrestlers. It demonstrated that there are significant gender related differences between female and male wrestlers. Possibly the lower VO 2 max in the female wrestlers was compensated by their higher oxygen utilization at the anaerobic threshold. This result indicates that AT 4 method is sufficiently reliable for measuring anaerobic threshold for female and male wrestlers.(Biol.Sport 26:339-348, 2009)

“…Women were tested with no respect to their menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycle phase was not controlled, given that previous research suggested that maximal VO 2 is not affected by menstrual cycle phase [5]. All athletes were familiarized with the testing equipment and procedures prior to the commencement of testing.…”

“…It shows the maximum possible oxygen that human body can intake in one minute, and it is closely related to body endurance and aerobic activity and depends on the performance of skeleton, muscular, and cardiovascular systems [4]. In addition, maximum anaerobic power (pmax) is the ability of all muscles to produce more force with high speed in sprint activities for a very short time [5].…”

Abstract. Background: High-intensity interval trainings (HIIT) can result in the best improvement of body fitness among athletes in the shortest possible time. The impact of HIIT on bioenergetic factors of futsal players has not been studied extensively. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of 3-week HIIT on body composition indices, maximum aerobic power, and maximum anaerobic power, anaerobic power among boysfutsal players. Material: 30 boys -futsal players (mean± SD age, 13.49±1.03 years; BMI, 20.95±1.78 kg/m 2 ) participated in the study voluntarily. They were randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. HIIT lasted for three weeks, three sessions a week for 12-36 minutes on treadmill. Weight, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), thickness of body fat, maximal aerobic power, and maximum anaerobic power were recorded before intervention and 48 hours after the final training session. Aerobic power was measured with 20-m shuttle run, and maximum anaerobic power was measured with RAST test. Paired sample t-test was used to determine pretest-posttest differences, and independent t-test was used to determine between-group differences. The significance level was set to P < 0.05. Results: Significant differences were found in weight, BMI, thickness of body fat, maximum aerobic power and maximum anaerobic power in experimental group (P = 0.001) before and after training intervention, but the change in WHR was not significant (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in selected body composition between experimental and control groups, but they exhibited significant differences in maximum aerobic power and maximum anaerobic power (P = 0.001). Conclusion: According to the results, HIIT can be an effective training program for improving the performance of bioenergetic indices of futsal players. Also, it is recommended to study the effect of similar trainings with longer durations on other indices in other sports in future studies.

“…No differences have been found in the aerobic performance (VO 2 max) during the phases of the menstrual cycle, regardless of whether or not the subject is taking oral contraceptives (Burrows & Bird, 2005;Lamina, Hanif, & Muhammed, 2011;Máček & Radvanský, 2011;Oosthuyse, Bosch, & Jackson, 2005;Vaiksaar et al, 2011).…”
