Abstract
[b]Aim of the work[/b]. To define: 1) the impact of training on time to cover a given distance on a rowing ergometer by the students; 2) the representativeness of the sample in order to obtain an accurate and reliable method of estimating the results achieved when measuring short-term endurance capacity.[b]Material and methods[/b]. The research was conducted at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn on a group of 63 full-time students, with the help of rowing ergometer “Concept II Rower Indoor”. The influence of regular training on time of covering the distance of 500 m by the students was measured. The results were analyzed by comparing compatibility of statistical distribution of measured time and accepted coefficient k (in relation to body weight) to normal distribution using the regression with the stepwise elimination of the degree and form of the polynomial functions.[b]Results[/b]. Based on derived mathematical relationship and the results obtained, it was observed that the average time of repeated exercises was reduced from about 108 to 97 seconds. The phenomenon of shortening the time may be due to the improvement of the endurance capacity or the process of learning short movements.[b]Conclusions[/b]. An attempt to cover the distance of 500 m on rowing ergometer at as soon as possible pace, carried out once a week, was useful to assess the level of endurance capacity in the examined individuals. Developed method can be regarded as a reliable, credible and accurate tool for estimating both: the time of covering the distance on rowing ergometer and assessing the short-term endurance capacity.
