Answers physiological practitioners in athletes of athletics through power test aerobic

Abstract

The systemized training causes individuals in various adaptations, among them, the physiological responses that are here represented by the heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic and mean, double product and oxygen saturation. Another variable of great importance for practicing athletic track, refers to aerobic power, by which can be estimated by direct or indirect methods for the identification of VO₂Max. Given the above, the general objective of this research was to identify the physiological responses in athletes practicing athletics through an aerobic power test. Were adopted (n = 27) athletes practicing athletics, namely, middle distance runners and sprinters of both sexes. These were subjected to an aerobic power test, and the physiological responses measured at rest and the end of the testing protocol was applied by Léger Test pre and post intervention for a period of 12 months. When comparing physiological responses, HR, DBP, and MAP initial SO₂, showed no significant differences. The variables PAM end, starting and ending DP, initial and final SBP showed significance with value p ≤ 0.05. Regarding the aerobic power, both groups reached significance with increased VO₂Max through interventions. Given the findings, we conclude that the practice of athletics favors higher performance compared to aerobic power, as well as acute and chronic adaptations among the evaluated physiological responses.
