Physiological performance capacity in different prepubescent athletic groups.

Endurance, strength and speed capacity were investigated among prepubescent male weight lifters (EL), endurance runners (ER) and sprint runners (SR). The subjects were selected by their coaches and all of them were classified as promising and successful junior athletes in the age groups of 10-13 years. Twelve boys belonged to athletic group (AG) and their performance capacity was compared to normally active control (C) boys (n = 9). Biological age was significantly (p less than 0.05) greater in AG (11.3 +/- 0.9 years) than in C (10.2 +/- 1.4 years) but in chronological age there was no difference between the groups. Maximal oxygen uptake was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in AG (62.3 +/- 3.1 ml.kg-1.min-1) than in C (55.4 +/- 7.7 ml.kg-1.min-1). The endurance runners had the highest value (66.5 +/- 2.9 ml.kg-1.min-1). In anaerobic characteristics there were no significant differences. The rise of centre of gravity (0.26 +/- 0.03 m) of AG in a test for the best drop jump was clearly (p less than 0.05) higher than that (0.22 +/- 0.03 m) of C. The weight lifters and sprint runners were the best in the test for force production. AG had significantly (p less than 0.01) shorter choice reaction time (261 +/- 39 ms) than C (344 +/- 81 ms). Testosterone correlated with jump performances (p less than 0.05), biological age (p less than 0.01) and chronological age (p less than 0.001). Growth hormone correlated significantly only with biological age (p less than 0.05) and testosterone (p less than 0.001). In conclusion, endurance capacity (aerobic) and strength capacity were greater in the athletic group than in the control group and it was suggested that training background and more advanced biological maturation of the athletes affected especially their strength capacity. The parameters used in this investigation can be utilized for talent selection in sport.
