숏트트랙 선수의 신체적 특성에 관한 연구

This study was conducted to determine some physical fitness parameters of elite short track players, including the current world champion, and also to determine some of the physiological characteristics. Thirty subjects(short track player and control) performed physical fitness test, balance test and physical work capacity. The short track players showed: higher physical fitness(sit-up, left grip strength, trunk flextion, side-step, vertical jump, reaction time), higher physiological capacity(VO2max, anaerobic threshold, HRmax, optimal HR, HRmax during PWC, endurance time), smaller SBPmax and DBPmax compared with the group of control. Within the scope this study, the findings have suggested the following conclusions for the management of physiological characterstics and physical fitness promotion as well as short track strategy for the short track players.
