title: The effects of resistance training on aerobic and anaerobic power of young boys.
abstract: A 4-wk interval-type training program incorporating omni-kinetic equipment and stationary cycling elicited an increase in the absolute and relative VO2max of an active group of young boys. The improvement in aerobic function was independent of the training protocols of high velocity-low resistance and low velocity-high resistance. However, the training programs failed to increase anaerobic function as measured by an "all-out" cycle test in which power output was calculated in watts and watts per kilogram for 0- to 15-s and 15- to 30-s work periods. Changes in aerobic and anaerobic functions were independent of physiological maturity as determined by serum testosterone level (ng X dl-1).
