Popis: | The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between selected anaerobic power tests and isokineticpeak torque values and a criterion power measure established by the sum of several isokinetic power outputs. Forty college-age men participated in the study. The selected anaerobic power tests included the Margaria-Kalaman stair test, vertical jump, and leg and arm cranking power. Peak torque values were obtained from knee and elbow flexion and extension at 60 and 240 deg/sec. The results showed correlations (r) between the tests and the criterion ranged from r = 0.43 to r = 0.84 (p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the percent of variance in the criterion that could be explained by the selected tests. Three significant (p < 0.01) equations were developed with multiple correlations (R) ranging from R = 0.84 to R = 0.92. Up to 85% of the variation in the criterion can be explained by the following test performances (in order of influence): the Margaria-Kalaman, summed peak elbow torques at 240 deg/sec, and leg cranking power. |
