The effect of a six weeks aerobic and anaerobic intermittent swimming on VO2max and some lung volumes and capacities in student athletes

摘要

This research is categorized as “applied” and was conducted with a semi-experimental design. All the male athlete students of the Khorramshahr Marine Science and Technology University make up the Statistical population (N=168) from which 30 subjects were randomly chose and again, randomly divided, in to 2 equal groups, each 15 (group1: aerobic, group2: anaerobic). The smirnov-kolmogorov test, the independent t-test and the dependant t-test were used to test the hypotheses (α=0.05). The results showed a meaningful relationship both between the six-week anaerobic intermittent exercises and VO2max, IRV, ERV and between the six-week aerobic intermittent exercises and VO2max, IRV, ERV, VC, TLC. According to the results of this study, a six-week aerobic and anaerobic intermittent swimming had significant effect on VO2max and some lung volumes and capacities in student athletes.
