Abstract
Nine national and world-class female pentathletes were assessed for body composition, maximal aerobic power (Vo2max), strength, and speed. The subjects averaged 175.4 cm in height, 65.4 kg in weight, 11.0% relative body fat, 45.9 ml kg min-1 in Vo2max, and 8.35 m/sec for maximal running speed. When compared with other athletic females, this group was tall and lean with good, but not exceptional, maximal aerobic power. Group means for one-repetition maximum lifts were 59.7 kg (power clean), 61.5 kg (horizontal bench press), 60.0 kg (pull down), 87.9 kg (squat), 44.9 kg (include bench press), and 36.3 kg (leg curl). Within this elite group the most successful performers were stronger and possessed a greater lean body weight which together suggest the importance of muscle mass for success in the pentathlon.
对9名国家级和世界级的女子五项运动员进行了身体成分、最大有氧能力(Vo2max)、力量和速度的评估。受试者平均身高175.4 cm,体重65.4 kg,相对体脂11.0%,最大摄氧量45.9 ml kg min-1,最大跑速8.35 m/sec。与其他运动女性相比,这组人又高又瘦,最大有氧能力不错,但并不特别。组平均单次最大举重重量为59.7公斤(力量清洁)、61.5公斤(水平卧推)、60.0公斤(下拉)、87.9公斤(深蹲)、44.9公斤(卧推)和36.3公斤(腿曲)。在这个精英群体中,最成功的运动员更强壮,拥有更大的瘦体重,这些都表明了肌肉质量对五项运动成功的重要性。
