Aerobic fitness, endurance, and cardiovascular endurance are synonyms for work capacity, which itself is an important prerequisite for the health and life of every man. A very common way of assessing the state of aerobic fitness of a particular population are diagnostic tests on the basis of which we receive the necessary information when it comes to general physical condition of a defined population. This diagnostic evaluation is usually performed in the laboratory (direct methods), however, available and reliable data are about high reliability in the performance of some field tests (indirect methods). Depending on the field conditions, very often these measurements are performed using estimates of general ability (test UKK 2km). To perform this test data about body height, body weight, BMI, the values of the pulse rate and walking time during the test must be contained in it. Based on testing using the UKK 2km are obtained Fitness Index values (FINDEX) and maximal oxygen consumption (VO²max) of 35 male students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of East Sarajevo (BIH) in order to determine and define the physical condition of respondents. The results showed that the fitness index (103.22) in the upper zone average (103.22) and VO²max = 49.12 reflects good shape, but still the results indicate toward decreasing trend in students' aerobic fitness, and have fitness index values below the standard norms of the Swedish population. The general trend of decreasing aerobic fitness of the population can be seen in the sport and physical education students, as a consequence of lifestyle in which there is not enough adequate physical activity.
Aim:Through physical activity, the development of cardiovascular endurance is an important prerequisite in health promotion capacity of every man. The aim of this study was comparison of aerobic fitness tested students from the Faculty of sport and physical education, from Belgrade University and Tirgu Mures from Romania. Methods:The method that was used is Survey method of a non- research, concluding on the basis of the transverse section of the results. The instrument is UKK 2km, walking test. The total sample consisted of two groups, university students, N = 250 (N = 50 students of University of Tirgu Mures and N = 200 students of Belgrade University). Results: Students from both groups have approximately the same average number of years, body height and weight, and BMI. The results show that men’s Fitness index in both groups is in the average values, the values of the Swedish population norms (90-110). Also, the Romanian university students have average values of fitness index, while students at the University of Belgrade these values are slightly below average. VO2max men in both groups are moving into the category of 'good', according to the criteria of the Cooper oxygen consumption, it is for this value in Romanian’s women, while the VO2max value of our students are in the average values. Conclusions: The results showed that the differences between our men students and Romanian are insignificant, and to move in the average when it comes to fitness index, respectively, are slightly above average in terms of VO2max. Our women students are slightly loose fit, and less physically prepared then Romanian students, while their VO2max values are approximately the same. We can conclude that these students are physically active, their results in the average values, as a result of engaging in teaching activities, but also in recreational activities outside the university. Keywords: aerobic fitness, students of physical education; UKK 2 km; state condition.

Aerobic Capacity as An Indicator in Different Kinds of Sports2010 •
Physical capacity of athletes is an important element of success in sports achievements. Aerobic capacity has been accepted as its major component. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) has been regarded by majority of authors as the best indicator of aerobic capacity of an organism, and at the same time, the best indicator of an athlete’s physical capacity. The aim of the investigation was to analyze the aerobic capacity as an indicator of physical capacity of athletes, differences in their aerobic capacity with regard to the kind of sport they are practicing, as well as the differences obtained when compared to physically inactive subjects. The investigation included the determination of absolute and relative VO2max in the total of 66 male examinees. The examinees were divided into two groups of active athletes (football players (n=22) and volleyball players (n=18) of different profiles, while the third group of non-athletes served as control group. Maximal oxygen uptake was determined b...

Background Aerobic capacity in children and youth should be stimulated by training according to the rhythm and direction of the children’s biological development. The aim of this study was to determine the aerobic capacity of young trained boys. Material/Methods: The subjects of this study were both untrained individuals as well as athletes training regularly in the following sports: judokas (n=15, mean age 14.1), soccer players (n=12, mean age 13.8), swimmers (n=12, mean age 14.2), gymnasts (n=9, mean age 13.7) and untrained (n=12, mean age 15.0), on the basis of anaerobic threshold (AT) specified as RER=1 and of V· O2max.The subjects performed the test until exhaustion. Gas analyzer EOS Sprint (Jaeger) and the cycloergometer (Jaeger) were used in the study. The continuous progressive intensity protocol started at 1.5 W·kg–1 for 6 min (v=55 rpm) and increased 25 W every 1 minute until exhaustion. Results: The highest values of V· O2max (3.2 L·min –1; 59.42 mL·kg–1·min–1) were obtai...

Background: It is generally considered the best indicator of cardio respiratory endurance and athletic fitness. Body fat percentage affects VO2 max and thus the cardiovascular status of the athletes. Increased body fatness as predicted by body mass index is an additional factor for developing cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between aerobic fitness (VO2 max) and body mass index in active male students. Methodology: 46 active male students age (21.60 ±1.452) years were included in this study group. Body mass index was measured as weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared. Aerobic fitness in terms of VO2 max was assessed by following the Rockport one male walk Test. Results: There was a significant negative correlation between body mass index (BMI) and VO2max (ml/kg/min) (r =-0.705, p< 0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest the striking effect of body fat on cardiorespiratory functions. Excessive amount of body fat exerts an unfavorable burden on cardiac function and oxygen uptake by working muscles.
