Abstract

age: 23.07±3.45 yrs). For the determination of body composition, subjects height, body weight and skinfold thicknesses were taken and body fat percentage was determined by the Acikada   formula (1991). Wingate Anaerobic Power Test (WAnT), squat jump (SJ), counter movement jump (CMJ),  repeated-jump and 10-20-30 meter transition (speed) times were used for the determination of anaerobic performance. Results of Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, WAnT anaerobic power was significantly correlated with anaerobic capacity (r=.394; p<0.05), however WAnT anaerobic capacity was significantly correlated with squat jump (r=.536; p<0.01), 10m. sprint (r=-.608; p<0.01), 20m. sprint (r=-.626; p<0.01) and 30m. sprint (r=-.593; p<0.01). Similarly repeated jump was significantly correlated with squat jump (r=-.596; p<0.01), countermovement jump (r=-.462; p<0.05), 10m. sprint (r=-.632; p<0.01), 20m. sprint (r= -.558; p<0.01) and 30m. sprint (r=-.580; p<0.01). In addition to countermovement jump was significantly correlated with squat jump (r=-.791; p<0.01), 10m. sprint (r=-.609; p<0.01), 20m. sprint (r=-.590; p<0.01) and 30m. sprint (r=-.588; p<0.01). Results also indicated that squat jump was significantly correlated with 10m. sprint (r=-.711; p<0.01), 20m. sprint (r=-.658; p<0.01) and 30m. sprint (r=-.638; p<0.01). As a conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that the relationships different protocols anaerobic performance tests in American football player and arise from test protocols have different anaerobic structure.
