Abstract :
In futsal, fast and explosive movements play an important role in the optimal exercise implementation. Thus, improving the evaluation of anaerobic performance techniques in futsal players is very notable. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between RAST test and Wingate test for evaluation of anaerobic performance indicators in Female Futsal players. A total of 25 women with an average age of 21.72 years and with mean body mass index 21.83kg/m2 and mean percentage of body fat 25.66 percent were selected. For evaluation of the anaerobic performance the RAST test and Wingate test on cycloergometer was used. Then, maximal power, minimal power, average power, fatigue index and heart rate after the end of two tests were calculated. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the RAST and Wingate test's indices. Results in a significant level (p<0.05) were tested. According to this study, the average correlation coefficient between maximal power, minimal power and average power of Wingate test and RAST test was observed. There was no significant difference in the fatigue index between two tests. In fact, the RAST test can help sports club coaches to measure anaerobic power in amateur level to select players with optimal anaerobic power in futsal.
