Analysis of the Influences of Certain Physical Capacities on Performance and Stress Status Monitoring during Training Period and Before Competition in Canoe/Kayak Athletes / 影響輕艇運動員表現之身體能力分析以及訓練過程及賽前壓力狀態之監測

碩士 / 國立彰化師範大學 / 應用運動科學研究所 / 96 / For canoe/kayak athletes, excellent anaerobic power and endurance of the upper body are critical for their performance. The first part of this study aimed to examine the influences of several physiological characteristics, namely, VO2max performed on treadmill and kayak ergometer, isometric strengths of trunk, shoulder, and elbow, on performance in canoe/kayak paddlers. The results show that peformance of 500 m kayaking is significantly correlated with VO2max performed on kayak ergometer ( r =-.685, p<.05) and abdominal isometric strength( r =-.619, p<.05). The second part of this study aimed to evaluate if over-reaching or over-training is generated in canoe/kayak athletes subjected to an 8-weeks heavy training. The results show three stress-related physiological markers, namely, salivary amylase, plasma leptin, and heart rate variability (HRV) of the paddlers, barely change during the training period. Nonetheless, salivary amylase and the LF of HRV rise significantly in these athletes one hour before them attending a national event. The raise is possibly related to sympathetic activation generated from anxiety. In conclusion, VO2max performed on kayak ergometer and abdominal isometric strength are two capabilities critical for canoe/kayak athletes. In addition, these athletes encounter psychological stress in hours before major competition, rather than during heavy training period.
