摘要

A sample of 42 tennis players, between 12 and 14 years of age, performed a laboratory test on a treadmill and a running test on an athletic track. Both were used to measure aerobic capacity of the subjects. Two predictive variables were chosen maximal O2 consumption, running test on 2400 m and a criterion variable - competitive successfulness. The correlation between the predictive variables and competitive successfulness was analysed with the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results show that the correlation of competitive successfulness with running endurance and aerobic power is weak, but statistically significant.
