COMPARING BODY COMPOSITION, SPEED ENDURANCE AND STRENGHT ENDURANCE IN THE NATIONAL ICE HOCKEY ACADEMIC TEAM BY THE ANAEROBIC WINGATE TEST
Abstract
The research aims to provide a comparison of the body composition with the anaerobic output in the Wingate test performed by ice hockey players.The research is to provide analysis of the correlation between the Wingate test performance and higher physical weight of the players. The anaerobic Wingate test produces two fundamental anaerobic performance parameters: anaerobic capacity (AnC) and peak power (Pmax).
Pearson’s correlation between PW and Pmax absolute and relative values, and correlation between active body mass and absolute and relative values of the acaerobic capacity were calculated. The results obtained through the Pearson’s correlation imply there is a low correlation (r = 0.12) between PW and Pmax/PW and AnC and AnC/PW.
These values indicate that players with higher PW have no advantage over the others. The values can be thus used for interindividual test assessment.
