Abstract |
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological variables during the new combined event in modern pentathletes. METHODS 16 Korea's elite male modern pentathletes were divided into two trials:
9 high level athletes and 7 low level athletes depending on performance level, and was analyzed by measuring the heart rate (HR), expiratory flow (VE) and oxygen uptake (˙VO 2 ) for running phases performed new combined event wearing portable wireless gas analyzer and heart rate equipment in the chest. RESULTS First, running time each phases was faster high level athletes than low level athletes, the fastest running time showed in 1, 4 phases and the slowest showed in 2, 3 phases. Second, there were not differences between the high level and low level athletes in HR, VE, and ˙VO 2 of each phases. Looking at each phases, HR and VE was low in 1, 2 phases and was high 3, 4 phases, the ˙VO 2 was the lowest in 1 phase and was high in the 4, 3, 2 phases. CONCLUSIONS It was confirmed that high level athletes had a relatively faster speed and physical ability to continue at a higher intensity. It was considered that the training program for improving the high anaerobic capacity while reducing the effects of fatigue was necessary for low level athletes. |
