A Study on the Development of Sports Aptitude -Relationships Between Muscle Fiber Composition and Aerobic, Anaerobic Powers-

【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.3 Vol.3】

　Ten untrained male university students were studied to examine the relationship between characteristics of muscle fibers and some aerobic, anaerobic powers. As the results, no significant difference existed between handball throw and % area FT fibers, in the M. deltoideus, but there were significant differences between % area FT fibers in the M. vastus lateralis and 50 m dash, mean power of aerobic items (50 m dash, side step, vertical jump), 50 m dash/VO₂max (me/kg・min⁻¹).
　From the facts described above, it is concluded that the possibility of prediction for muscle fiber composition, in untrained men, is higher in the anaerobic parameters than aerobics.
