Endurance and special endurance, aerobic and anaerobic metabolic parameters of the Hungarian National Female Volleyball Team were studied before the VIIth Female Junior Volleyball Championship. The aim of the study was to seek for the optimum training intensity on the basis of the measured performance-physiological data. Fifteen volleyball players took part in the study (mean age 18,1 years, mean body height 182.5 cm, mean body weight 70.7 kg). Six athletes performed the graded laboratory test to the maximum (relative aerobic power 36.5 ml O2/kg); 9 players should perform even a higher level (relative aerobic power 38.0 ml O2/kg). The mean of the Cooper test (2156.7 m) was accompanied by an average 5.9 mmol/l lactate accumulation. The average value of the anaerobic threshold merely exceeded 3.5 m/sec velocity, the mean for the maximum running speed was 5.4+/-0.4 m/sec with a mean lactate level of 7.73+/-1.5 mmol/l. During the so called "mini-interval" work load (20 sec running on the treadmill by a velocity of 17.6 km/hour with 20 sec resting periods), running time was 222.6+/-108.5 sec, lactate was 7.94+/-3.48 mmol/l in the average. Both aerobic and anaerobic parameters indicated the poor physical fitness of the players. This is also valid for endurance, special endurance and anaerobic power as well. For the establishment of the individual optimum training intensity mainly anaerobic parameters proved to be useful. Verf.-Referat
