THE INVERSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANAEROBIC AND AEROBIC CAPACITY BY TESTING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PUSH-UPS AND THE CHANGE IN PULSE RATE OF A SUBJECT.

INTRODUCTION

The human body requires energy to do mechanical work dependently (Zwiren 1989). This energy is provided when the body breaks down the chemical form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In order for the mechanical activities to continue, ATP needs to be constantly restored and this done in two ways: aerobically (given the presences of oxygen) or anaerobically (the absences of oxygen) (Astrand 1956).

Aerobic respiration is more efficient as the glucose is broken down in the presences of oxygen this creates energy which is more usable. During aerobic activities, the body demands more …show more content…

The subject who did 25 push-ups or more had a lower standard deviation showing that the data was close to the mean and therefore the results were more reliable. While subjects who did 25 push-ups or less had a higher standard deviation, which shows that the data was not close to mean and therefore was less reliable, compared to the other category. The t-test also confirmed these results and demonstrated that there was a major difference between the mean change in pulse rates between subjects who completed 25 or more push-ups in contrast to subjects who completed less than 25 push-ups. However the p value was p <0.05 shows that there was strong evidence between aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Therefore this study supports the hypothesis and clearly shows that there is a correlation between aerobic capacity and anaerobic capacity. As a result this study would reject the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between an individuals aerobic and anaerobic capacity (Koziris et all …show more content…

2013). This helped researchers to find the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of swimmers (Papoti et al. 2013). The similarity between the study that was conducted in this paper and (Papoti et al. 2013) is that both supported the hypothesis stating that higher aerobic capacity also means a higher anaerobic capacity. The difference between the two studies is that subjects in this were only allowed to perform one type exercise, which was, tethered swimming to measure the aerobic and anaerobic capacity (Papoti et al. 2013). While this paper’s study used two different types of exercise to determine the aerobic and anaerobic
