title: [Anaerobic "all-out" stress tests: selection of the type and duration of stress].
abstract: In the diagnosis of prerequisite conditions for short-term highly intensive activity, performed under conditions of oxygen deficit anaerobic loading tests are used. Contrary to tests of constant performance, "all-out" tests follow up changes of performance in the course of time, i. e. they record the maximal anaerobic performance as well as the decline of performance in the course of the test. In a group of 17 subjects three types of loads were compared (bicycle ergometry, a test repeated jumps and running) and two periods of anaerobic tests--45 s and 120 s. The results achieved in different tests--total work, maximum performance, decline of performance, post-load lactate concentration in blood--differed depending on the type of load and duration of the test. Correlation analysis did not reveal a close relationship between the results of different anaerobic tests, there was however a relationship between the maximum performance and the total work at the level of general physical fitness. The longer variant of the test--120 s--did not prove more suitable, neither from the aspect of the assumed markedly higher lactate cumulation in blood nor from the aspect of maximum performance, as compared with the 45 s test. A close relationship was revealed between the results of the 45 s and 120 s jumping and running test but not between the results of bicycle ergometry. The post-load lactate concentration cannot be considered a highly reliable indicator of the level of the anaerobic energy metabolism in the working muscle.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
