HILDEBRANDT INDEX IN SKIERS AND TAEKWONDO ATHLETES AT REST AND UNDER STANDARD BICYCLE ERGOMETRIC LOADS
This study included examination of 15 skiers, developing endurance, and 17 taekwondo athletes, developing speed strength, under laboratory conditions. By using the Oxycon Pro system, we registered indicators of blood parameters and respiration in athletes. Skiers revealed higher values of lung capacity and vital index, Skibinskaya index, maximum oxygen consumption, but lower values of heart rate, double product, and Hildebrandt index at rest and under loads. Taekwondo athletes differ from skiers by an increased body mass index and higher strength indicators (strength and power index), increased “pulse and pressor cost” of physical loads.
