Relationship between Body Composition and Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Young Male Trainees at Initial Training Levels
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to investigate the relationship between body composition and maximal oxygen uptake in young male trainees at the initial training level,providing insights for daily training.METHOD:Twenty-six healthy male participants underwent a 6-month military basic physical fitness training program.Body composition was assessed using a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry,and maximal oxygen uptake was measured.RESULTS:Lean body weight,lean body weight index(Lean/Height2),and lower limb lean body weight showed no correlation with maximal oxygen uptake.However,upper limb lean body weight(r=-0.44,P＜0.05)and upper limb lean body weight/lower limb lean body weight ratio(r=-0.41,P＜0.05)were found to be correlated with maximal oxygen uptake.The average values of whole-body fat percentage showed no correlation with maximal oxygen uptake based on obesity mass/weight,trunk fat ratio/leg fat ratio,and trunk/limb fat mass according to bone density(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:For individuals at the initial training level,an increase in upper limb lean body weight may not be beneficial for improving maximal oxygen uptake,potentially affecting endurance performance in sports activities.
