Abstract

The article reports on research conducted to investigate the anaerobic and aerobic profiles of competitive surfers. Researchers evaluated the peak oxygen uptake (Vo2peak) of 20 surfers using an incremental ramp test and anaerobic power during a 10-second maximal paddling burst using a surf paddle-specific modified kayak ergometer with a surfboard and hand paddles. They found a significant relationship between anaerobic power and season rank and no relationship between Vo2peak and season rank.
