The Trainability of Physical Endurance of Adult Women
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.7 Vol.7】
Subjects were 82 healthy women aged from 21 to 57 years.
They trained about 1,000 meters jogging (5-10 minutes), 3 times a week, for 10 weeks. Running speed was decided 60-71% of maximal heart rate for each subjects.
Before and after the training period, their aerobic capacities were examined to measured VO₂ max by treadmill exhaustive test. And the other physical fitness tests were carried out, prior to the treadmill test. (for example; grip strength, vertical jump, vital capacity etc.)
Obtained results were as follows; Maximal oxygen intake per body weight of each age group was increased as 13.0% in twenties, 13.5% in thirties, 15.2% in forties and 8.5% in fifties respectively. And the average time of the exhaustive test of each age group was lengthened significantly. Heart rate at the same work load were decreased, and recovery time after the same work seemed to be shortened, though maximal heart rates were not changed. Other fitness elements such as vital capacity, flexibility and balance were considerably improved in forties and fifties.
Skinfolds fat of uperarm and below scapula, and body fat percentage were decreased at the rate of 8-20% in every age group.
So the improvement of physical endurance of adult women is expected by the jogging for 5-10 minutes, 3 times a week.
It is inferred that the trainabilities are fairly high in degree in twenties, thirties and forties, but they trend to fall a little in fifties.
