20대 초반 남성의 유산소성 체력수준에 따른 최대산소섭취량과 1,500m, 20m 셔틀런과의 관계

To determine the relationships between maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max.), 1,500m run (1500-R), and the 20m multistage shuttle run (MS-R) according to aerobic fitness level in young men. One hundred men (19.5±0.9 yrs; 175.6±5.6 cm; 67.8±8.8 kg) participated in two randomly ordered testings. In one occasion, they ran on a treadmill with an incremental work load to determine their VO2max. The better score of two trials of 1500-R and MS-R was taken for analysis. They were categorized according to ACSM guidelines based on the VO2max. into Average(A), Good(G), Very good(VG), Excellent(E) fitness groups. When the record were compared by groups, it was only different between A and E in both 1500-R and MS-R(p<0.05). The Pearson Correlation Coefficients were only significant between 1500-R and MS-R in all groups (p<0.01) while no significance was noticed between VO2max. and two field tests. Records of both 1500-R and MS-R appear to increase progressively by fitness level, but the outcome of field endurance tests only differentiate the maximal aerobic capacity between the average and the excellent aerobic capacity groups. Two field tests were highly correlated with each other, but not with VO2max. in all fitness levels.
