Abstract

|
The physiological characterisitics of 28 elite synchronized swimmers (SSs) were studied. The examined variables were body composition, aerobic power(VO2max) including lactate threshold (VO2@LT) and blood properties. The SSs were superior to non-athletic(untrained) women in aerobic power. Furthermore, the significant 10.7% increase(46.3±4.2 to 51.3±4.3ml/kg/min) in VO2max and 20% increase(25.2±2.7 to 30.5±3.2ml/kg/min) in VO2@LT were observed 1 year after, while the % body fat was similar to nonathletic women. Interestingly sport anemia was not found in the elite SSs. Except both high %fat and sport anemia, these results suggested that physiological profiles of SSs were similar with those of long distance runners.
