摘要

Many sports and activities in our daily life rely on the anaerobic energy pathway to develop large amounts of energy. However, relatively little attention has been focused on the evaluation of anaerobic energy system. This study compared the differences between men and women college students, and examined the correlation between two anaerobic tests and between the aerobic and anaerobic power tests. Thirty-five volunteers (20 females and 15 males) aged 20-27 years old were included in this study. All the subjects were measured for body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis, maximal aerobic power by cycle ergometer exercise testing, maximal anaerobic power tests by 40-yard dash and vertical jump test. The results showed significant difference between men and women in body weight (BW), height and body composition. Absolute aerobic power was significantly different between genders (p＜0.01), but not significantly different when it was expressed as per kg of body weight or fat free mass (FFM). The 40-yard test and anaerobic power calculated from the vertical jump test (Power VJ) were significantly different between genders (p＜0.0l). Only in female group, the performances of two anaerobic power tests were correlated significantly. The aerobic power and anaerobic power were not correlated each other in men, significantly correlated in women only when both were expressed per body weight.
