This study compared the effects training on anaerobic capacity following 6-weeks of training. Forty-eight trained subjects were in a training group. The results show that in the first training season was statistically significant increase these values (maximum output of 11.8 to 16.2 W/kg , anaerobic capacity from 255.9 to 281.9 J/kg , and fatigue index of 45.3 to 60.7 % ). However, in the second reporting season,...

The purpose of the present study was to determine a specific structure in timing of six selected muscles during rowing on a single scull and during knee bend, to learn about postural-locomotive movement patterns in muscular coordination. We focused on changes in onsets and cessations on each muscle activity. Our early work has suggested that rowing technique of legs work may correspond to the technique of knee bend. This study sought to test this hypothesis. By surface electromyography we recorded muscular activity and involvement throughout mean cycle of the knee bend and of the rowing stroke. Participants of this study were seven highly trained athletes,...
