Selected anaerobic capacity parameters regard to paracanoe functional classification

摘要

Introduction: Paracanoeing is Paralympic discipline in which athletes compete 200m races in three functional classes. The aim of the study was to compare whether anaerobic capacity parameters differ between classes.Material and methods: A group of 14 athletes from A and LTA classes took part in this study. During the 30s Wingate test the selected anaerobic capacity parameters (peak power, relative peak power, fatigue index, time to reach peak power) were registered.Results: Results of the present study lead to conclusion that the anaerobic capacity differ between paracanoe functional classes.Conclusions: There are significant correlation between selected anaerobic capacity parameters and functional classification.
