女子大学生の全身持久性能力とStep Test

抄録

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the usual stepping exercise load might prove useful or not in evaluating cariovascular endurance correctly. Experimental tests were administerd to nine healthy college women. The way of the stepping exercise was to step up and down rhythimically the benches of 35cm and 40 cm in the frequency of 30 per min for 3 minutes and 5 minutes. These results were analyzed in relations with subjects' physique, some physical performance, ma×imum oxygen intake, etc.1. The average test scores were as follows: 35cm×3min 35cm×5min 40cm×3min 40cm×5min 58.5±6.32 56.9±5.84 54.8±7.76 53.7±6.682. The average maximum oxygen intake was 1.66 l/min (32.2±3.39 ml /kg·min). The maximum heart rate and resting heart rate were 180.3 ±12.46 and 68.0 ±7.30 beats/min, respectively.3. The average 12-min running distance was 2161±122.20m. The exhaustive riding time and the leg strength were 15' 09" 4 ±59" 1 and 26.2±5.90kg, respectively.4. The correlation between the step test scores and the maximum oxygen intake did not reach the level of significance in these tests. The correlation coefficient of 35cm×5min was not significant, but it was the highest(r=0.278, p>0.05).5. The correlation between the step test scores and the 12-min running distance were significant at 1% level in the tests of 35cm×3min and 35cm×5min and at 5% level in test of 40cm×5min.6. The correlation between the 12-min running distance and the maximum oxygen in take did not reach the level of significance.7. From the above results, we consider 35cm×3min proper as the stepping exercise load for college women.
