【 摘 要 】

The amount and intensity of training a subject enters into will impact athletic performance. Previous studies have demonstrated that fitness and fatigue achieved during training will impact performance. This study compared the subject;;s performance in time trials to the subject;;s level of fitness minus the level of fatigue (Fit-Fat) as calculated for each subject. Twelve male and twenty-four female swimmers (n = 36) volunteered to participate in eleven weeks of varied intensity and duration training sessions while performing 100 yard time trials at the end of each training phase. Subjects;; percent improvements on the time trial (NormTT) were compared to the Fit-Fat of each swimmer during each training phase. At the end of the seven week general endurance phase (GETT) a 0.205 correlation was observed between the two variables with p = 0.229. The increased loading phase (ILTT) yielded a 0.159 correlation with p = 0.355 while the decreased loading phase (DLTT) yielded a 0.201 correlation with 0 = 0.254. Subjects averaged during the GETT a Fit-Fat of -47.417and a 2.563 percent faster NormTT. Average values during the ILTT were Fit-Fat of -80.028 and a 1.825 percent faster Normr1T;; and during the DLTT a Fit-Fat of 220.861 with a 4.260 percent faster NormTT. Mean NonnTT for the DLTT proved to be significantly faster than the mean NormTT for the GETT and ILTT (p < 0.05). The use of Fit-Fat in an attempt to predict a subject;;s percent improvement on performance proved not to be successful at a significant level (p < 0.05).
