大学競泳選手におけるWingate testで評価した無酸素性パワーと100mと200m競技種目の泳パフォーマンスの関係

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the anaerobic power, which was evaluated by a Wingate test, and the swimming performance in the 100 m and 200 m events. Twenty-five competitive collegiate female swimmers participated in this study. All participants performed a Wingate test using a bicycle ergometer, and the mean and the peak power during the test were measured. The FINA points of the 100 m and 200 m events in competitions before and after the Wingate test were used as the participant's swimming performance. The relationships between the mean and peak power of the Wingate test and the swimming performance was investigated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. As the results, significant relationships were observed between the mean power and the FINA points of the 100 m event (r＝0.67, p＜.05), and the peak power and the FINA points of the 100 m event (r＝0.66, p＜.05). There was no significant relationship between the mean or peak power and the FINA points of the 200 m events. This study suggested that strong relationship exists between the anaerobic power, which was evaluated by the Wingate test, and the swimming performance of 100 m event. Therefore, Wingate test may serve as a useful tool for coaches to objectively evaluate and monitor the anaerobic power of swimmers, and to predict the swimming performance of 100 m events.
