Abstract
The aim of the work. A study was conducted with 345 randomly chosen female students of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in the academic year 2002/2003 aimed at determining their motoricity based on an attempt to cover a distance of 500 m on a rowing ergometer.Material and methods. The effect of other factors, such as height, body weight and the year of studies on the time of covering the distance was also analysed.Results. The results indicate that the factors tested in the experiment, such as weight, height, and particularly these two in interaction (height/weight), significantly affect the time of covering the 500 metres on a rowing ergometer. No significant differences were found in relation to the students’ year of studies.Conclusions. The time of covering the distance depends on the w index, which is the height/weight ratio. The 500 m distance was covered in the shortest time by those students for whom the ratio equalled 2.98. An increase in the index from about 2.85 to about 2.98 reduced the time of a successful attempt from 140 s to 110 s. When the index exceeded 2.98, the time of covering the distance increased significantly.
