Effect of four week program for improving basic endurance implemented on students from Faculty for physical education

Abstract

73 students (63 male , 10 female) from Faculty for physical education-Skopje in 2004/2005 study year were included in a four weeks experimental program with a goal to improve aerobic endurance capacity. This program was designed with 8 separate training sessions in continued mod, during four weeks program , with progressively extended time of exercises (2x25 min, 2x30min, 2x35min, 2x40min) in aerobic zone defined by Carvonen formula. Indicial and final values for maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) were computed from results of the Kuper test. In this research individual values of each students were analyzed by the average speed of each training day and average speed from initial and final test. T-test was used to determine differences between both mean. Results suggested significant improvement of VO2 max uptake. Program like this lead to improvements in basic endurance. This research is prove that this program had an effect on students goal to pass the Kuper test , which is official segment from test battery on subject Antropomotoric.
