Aerobic capacity of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with different levels of performance

Research object: aerobic capacity of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with different levels of performance. Research aim: establish aerobic capacity of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with different levels of performance. Research tasks: 1. To establish and compare aerobic capacity sub-maximal indicators of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with different levels of performance. 2. To establish and compare aerobic capacity maximum indicators of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with different levels of performance. Research methodology: Analysis of literature sources Constantly increasing treadmill exercise test Determination of gas exchange Heart rate monitoring Anthropometric measurements Mathematical analysis Research hypothesis: aerobic capacity is higher of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with higher level of performance than aerobic capacity of athletes with lower level of performance. Research practical significance: this study complements the physiological knowledge of aerobic capacity of aerobic gymnastics athletes. The data obtained are useful for coaches and can be used in the training program by individualizing load. Research novelty: it is believed that for the first time were studied aerobic capacity of 10 – 11 age young aerobic gymnastics athletes with different levels of performance, because we did not find any information about the aerobic capacity of gymnasts of this age. Research conclusions: 1. Aerobic capacity sub-maximal oxygen consumption and heart rate values of different levels of performance of young aerobic gymnastics athletes were similar at least first and second ventilation thresholds, only running speed at a second ventilation threshold was significantly higher in group of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with higher level of performance. 2. Aerobic capacity maximal oxygen consumption and heart rate values of different levels of performance of young aerobic gymnastics athletes were similar in both gymnasts groups, however the maximum running speed was significantly higher in group of young aerobic gymnastics athletes with higher level of performance
