Anthropometry and anaerobic exercise to aerobic athletes in weightlifting athletes

Özet

Anthropometric and aerobic exercise are important components in determining the success of weightlifters. This study aimed to determine anthropometry and anaerobic to aerobic exercise methods for weightlifters in Lampung Province. The sample included 20 athletes (14 male and 6 female). Body fat, 20 m sprint, vertical jump, standing broad jump and VO₂max tests were performed. The results showed that anthropometrically large athletes were male and relatively young, anthropometrically the mean (SD) height, weight, fat, and BMI of the two groups (male and female) showed significant differences. And there is a significant effect between anaerobic exercise on aerobic weightlifting athletes in Lampung Province to maximize the athlete's endurance and VO₂Max ability. For fat percentage, female athletes had a higher fat percentage than male athletes. Anaerobic capacity affects aerobic performance (VO₂max). This indicates that fast and vigorous exercise might result in an increased amount of ATP-PC. So, the ability of anaerobic capacity (sprint) affects aerobic capacity (VO₂Max) in weightlifters.
