| Özet |
| The purpose of the study were (a) to assess the maximum oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max) and body composition in boys and girls distance runners; and (b) to determine the relationship between these parameters. Thirteen boys (average age 16.5±2.4) and twelve girls (average age 16.2±2.1 years) totally twenty-five athletes voluntarily participated in the study. The subjects' body fat percentage (FP), free fat mass (FFM) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) were estimated by bioelectrical impedance. VO2max was determined by both 12 minute walk-run and Multi stage running tests (MST). The difference in VO2max and FP was significant between boys and girls athletes. The VO2max and FP showed strong negative correlation (r=-0.77 and-0.76 respectively for both of different tests) and FFM showed moderate correlation (r= 0.48 and 0.44 respectively for both of different tests). FP and FFM were inversely related to aerobic fitness. It also demonstrates that lower FP and higher FFM contribute to VO2max. |
