GENDER DIFFERENCES IN ANAEROBIC POWER IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT SCIENCE STUDENTS
Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2009, Vol 24, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose: To find out gender differences in anaerobic power and capacity in Physical Education and Sport students. Methods: 56 female (age 22.72 years old ± 1.96, body mass 60.7 Kg ± 6.06, stature 1.69 m ± 0.06 and body mass index 21.19 Kg.m-2 ± 1.92, mean ± standard deviation) and 152 male students (23.34 years old ± 2.14, 77.3 Kg ± 7.85, 1.82 m ± 0.06 and 23.28 ± 1.93 Kg.m-2) realized the Wingate anaerobic test. Results: The male showed significantly higher values in the main indexes of the test, peak power-PP (63.36 % in absolute and 28.03 % in relative to body mass values), mean power-MP (60.76 % in absolute and 26.06 % in relative to body mass values) and fatigue index (8.15 %) with comparison to female students. Female and male students revealed similar and high correlation between body mass and power parameters in absolute values (r=0.79 and r=0.81 for PP and 0.79 and 0.82 for MP, correspondingly). Conclusion: The significant gender differences in anaerobic power support the teaching in separate classes according to gender and it is suggested to consider these quantitative differences in the design of effective study programs. Key Words: Wingate, ergometry, study programs.
