The Difference In Aerobic Capacity And Anaerobic Power Between Young Male Recreational Basketball And Soccer Players, Lesley Ngo
Kinesiology Student Research
Basketball and Soccer are two sports that are usually played recreationally that provide for an active lifestyle. At competitive levels of both sports athletes undergo different kinds of training in order to improve performance for longer periods of time but not recreationally. Basketball and soccer are sports which often require the use of both anaerobic and aerobic faculties of energy production in activities including but not limited to: dribbling, sprinting, passing, shooting, walking and jumping. The purpose of this research was to investigate the difference in aerobic capacity and anaerobic power between young male recreational basketball and soccer players. It …

Previous studies have tested why adults seem to perform better in the areas of aerobic and anaerobic capacity, they have found that this occurs because with age comes a higher lung capacity. Also previous studies have looked at the comparison between motor development and its effect on fitness level. It was found that the higher an individuals motor proficiency the higher their fitness level appeared.

It is difficult to determine the aerobic capacity of wheelchair athletes by the accepted standards and methods of testing. The levels of disability and the associated functionality of the individual as well as wheelchair design itself impacts the measure of VO2 peak. VO2 peak is the maximum volume of O2 that a person's body can transport to tissue during incremental exercise. At the current time VO2 peak is the best indicator of physical fitness of an individual.
