The Evaluation Of Athletic Organizations Of International Association Of Athletic Federations And Olympic Games According To Critical Velocity Concept

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare Critical Velocity (CV) and Anaerobic Distance Capacity (ADC) values of international athletic organizations were determined as The International Association of Athletics Federations World Championship (IAAF-WC), IAAF World Junior Championship (WJC), IAAF Continental Cup (CC) and Olympic Games (OG). The CV and ADC values of international athletic organizations were estimated with linear regression analyze between times to exhaustion and total covered distances. This regression method was defined as linear total distance (Lin-TD) model. International athletic organizations were determined as IAAF World Championship (IAAF-WC), IAAF World Junior Championship (IAAF-WJC), IAAF Continental Cup (IAAF-CC) and Olympic Games (OG) organizations were involved in 800, 1500 and 5000 m. running events. Critical velocity (CV) and anaerobic distance capacity (ADC) values of thirteen IAAF-WC, eight IAAF-WJC, eleven IAAF-CC and twentytwo OG organizations were estimated with Lin-TD model using 800, 1500 and 5000 m. running events. It was determined that there was not any significiant difference among CV and ADC values of four organizations except significiant difference among CV values of IAAF-WC and OG organizations.
