[Conconi tests in children].
From 1990 to 1992 we carried out 158 Conconi-Tests on children aged from 7 to 15. Of these tests 128 were carried out on the 400 m-track, and further 30 were Conconi-Intervall-Tests (Probst-Test). The testing was done on the members of the Swiss Figure-Skating Team, on the best runners of the Volksbank Grand Prix St. Gallen 1991/92 and on the youngest girls and boys of the Athletic Club Brühl St. Gallen. 89 tests were performed on girls and 69 tests on boys. In 84% of all cases (133 tests) the results were open to unambiguous interpretation, and were determined by the anaerobic threshold, 14% (22 tests), however, could not be clearly interpreted or had to be done again, and in 2% of all cases (3 tests) the results delivered no analysable information. In the results we only considered the 133 tests where clear interpretation was possible (114 from 128 Conconi-Tests, i.e. 89%, and 19 from 30 Probst-Tests, i.e. 63%). Thus we achieved the first aim of our research, which was to investigate the feasibility of carrying out Conconi-Tests on children and analysing the subsequent results thereof (with very interesting threshold results). From this, it is hoped, that norm data can be established, on which the anaerobic threshold and the threshold pulse of children active in sports can be based. At this point it must be stated that the classical Conconi-Test was found to deliver data easily and clearly interpretable, while the Intervall-Test was less easily analyzable.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
