THE INFLUENCE OF SELECTED FACTORS ON OXYGEN EFFICIENCY
Journal Title: Journal of Physical Education & Health - Social Perspective - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Oxygen (aerobic) efficiency is one of the most important determinants of our physical ability, which in turn is the most significant aspect of the human body. Physical activity is very often connected with health and life long health care. The purpose of this article is to show how aerobic efficiency is affected by different lifestyles and predilections among groups selected by the researcher. This will enable the determination of those factors that influence oxygen efficiency. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to establish how aerobic efficiency, being the most important determinant of physical activity, presents in the chosen groups of respondents and how it is affected by various factors. Materials and methods. 30 respondents between the ages of 18 and 24 who study or work took part in the research. All of them claimed to pursue regular physical activity. Based on the interview with the respondents several subgroups were indicated: males, females, smokers, non-smokers, consumers of alcohol and non-drinkers.Results. Research conducted for the purpose of this manuscript enabled the evaluation of how oxygen efficiency presented in the different groups selected for the purpose of this study. Respondents who took part in the research varied based on gender and use of stimulants: Cigarettes reduce the Fitness Index (FI) rate. Males have a better FI rate than females. Alcohol does not reduce the FI rate. Those who smoke cigarettes have a lower oxygen efficiency rate then those drinking alcohol.
