Abstract
Twenty-three international athletes, members of the British MensJudo (n=6), Mens Gymnastics (n = 6) and Junior Mens Rowing (n = 10) squads were tested to gain information regarding anthropometry and upper-body anaerobic fitness. The rowing squad demonstrated higher mean body fat compared to judo-players and gymnasts. Using the computerised Double-Arm (DA) version of the Wingate Anaerobic test, mean power (MP), peak power (PP), time to PP, and fatigue index (FI) were measured for all three squads. When these parameters were expressed in absolute values, differences were not significant. On the other hand, highly statistical differences appeared when the results were normalised for body weight. High correlation coefficients were also produced between most of the variables used. The present data suggest that: judo-players, gymnasts and rowers have similar upper body anaerobic qualities; and normalising anaerobic scores for body weight is necessary for judo-players, and gymnasts, but not for rowers.
