Interrelationship between Anaerobic Power Output, Anaerobic Capacity and Aerobic Power

Abstract
The present experiment examined the interrelationship between performance estimates of anaerobic power-output, anaerobic capacity, and aerobic power (Vo2max)A performance test on the cycle ergometer (24 kpm pedal revolution− for 120s duration) using an all-out effort was used to estimate anaerobic power-output and capacity. Partial correlations between the three estimates, holding body weight statistically constant, were r= -0.57 between Vo2maxmax and anaerobic power-output; r = 0-27 between Vo2maxmax anaerobic capacity, and r =0.42 between anaerobic capacity and anaerobic power-output. The data supports a specificity hypothesis of energy utilization during exercise.
