THE DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY (PWC170) ACCORDING TO THE METHOD OF POWER-ERGOMETRY It is dedicated to the memory of Viktor Lvovych Karpman

Abstract

The author of the article considers the methodology and methods for determining the physical performance capacity of athletes, representing different age groups as well as being in different physical states, and those who are not engaged in sports, using the method of power-ergometry (submaximal power-ergometry test PWC170) developed by him. The method of power-ergometry is based on the use of specific acyclic sports, predominantly speed and strength activity directions (artistic gymnastics, rock craft (rock climbing), military multiathlon (multidiscipline event), etc., with the ones involving muscle loading like: pulling-up in suspension on the crossbar with a straight palm grip being quantitatively measured in kilogrammetre and performing actual mechanical work. The methods of conducting the ergometry test is relatively simple. The test subject is asked to consistently perform two loads of temperate intensity for 4-5 minutes with a 5-minute rest interval in between. The first load consists of 15 exercises performed in the mode of one pull-up for 20 seconds (there is given 3–4 seconds for every ascent and descent, 16–17 seconds – for resting and standing on the floor). The second load includes 25–30 exercises, which are performed in the mode of one pull-up within 10 seconds (there is given 3–4 seconds for every ascent and descent, 6–7 seconds – for resting and standing on the floor). Exercises are performed on a hinged crossbar which is attached to the wall bars (Swedish wall) at different heights from the floor. At the end of each load (within 30 seconds), the heart rate is counted. For high-class athletes, the power of the second load can be 50–60 pull-ups in 5 minutes or 10–12 pull-ups during one minute. The height of pull-ups of the test subject, which is necessary for calculation the mechanical work done by him, is determined by two methods: 1) apparatus (using the power-ergometer) and 2) non-apparatus (physical examination and anthropomorphic (anthropometric) methods). Their description is shown in the article. Physical capacity (PWC170) is calculated by the formula of Viktor Lvovych Karpman (1969). The formalized assessment grading scale (table) of physical performance demonstrated by athletes who represent different age groups and have different training areas as well as by non-trained persons is given according to the method of power-ergometry. A possibility of using this method in the sports practice, sports medicine, physical education, as well as in the educational process of students majoring in Physical Education and Sports at pedagogical universities is shown.
