Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the peak power output in trained and untrained subjects

Methods and materials: This study was conducted by selecting 40 healthy male students in the age group of 21-23 years. Average height is 163 cm +2 and average weight is 63 kg +2. First group included 20 students who do jogging 30 minutes four days a week for the past 10 months and second group included 20 students who do not do any exercise daily. Subjects attended physiology department RIMS, ONGOLE around 3 PM. All the 40 students were asked to warm up for 3-5 minutes by peddling the bicycle ergo meter.  Warm up increases the flow of blood to working muscles. Prevents heart damage during first few seconds of heavy exercise otherwise there will be inadequate blood flow to the heart.[8] Then they were asked to take rest for 5 minutes. Then the subject begins peddling the bicycle as fast as possible for 30 seconds. After 3 seconds of peddling predetermined resistance was applied to the flywheel. An electrical counter continuously records flywheel revolutions in 5 seconds intervals. The highest output is observed during the first 5 seconds.

Anaerobic peak power output = Force x Distance[1] (Time).

Results: P value of PP is 0.001.

Conclusion: Anaerobic peak power output is high in trained subjects than in untrained subjects.

Key words: Peak power output (PP), Bicycle ergo meter (Martin), Wingate anaerobic 30 cycle test (WANT), watts (W)
