The article presents data from a study of maximum oxygen consumption in the two groups of young athletes (swimmers and hockeyplayers) and a control group of boys who are not involved in sports. To determine the maximum oxygen consumption, cardiorespiratory exercise testing with automatic analyzers was selected. This type of research is the most accessible, informative and reliable for determining the aerobic performance of athletes, for which the maximum oxygen consumptionis the indicator. This study demonstrates significant differences in maximum oxygen consumption of male and female athletes specializing in swimming, female athletes specializing in field hockey, as well as boys not involved in sports. The relative and absolute values of the maximum oxygen consumption in girls specializing in swimming were higher than those in girls playing hockey. The average maximum oxygen consumption of the boys in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group. However, the average values of the maximum oxygen consumption of boys, who are not involved in sport, were higher than the same indicator of female athletes. To achieve high levels of maximal oxygen consumption in children and adolescents it is necessary to resort to regular physical exercises, taking into account the age, gender characteristics, as well as the specific features of the selected sport.
Key words: maximum oxygen consumption, young athletes, cardiorespiratory exercise testing.
