Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine the ralationship between ventilatory anaerobic threshold and critical power in Croatian nationally ranked rowers. The subject sample comprised 17 male senior rowers of the Croatian national rowing team. All subjects performed three tests on the rowing ergometer ConceptII. First test was an incremental laboratory test for the evaluation of the aerobic capacity and second and third were all-out tests on 2000 and 6000 meters. Both variables that measure anaerobic threshold (VT and CP) were significantly correlated with all other variables exept with relative aerobic capacity. The correlations with E6000 were higher than with E2000, which can be explained with the more aerobic nature of the longer (E6000) test. There was also a statistically significant correlation between VT and CP. The critical power, or fatigue threshold that is derived from two maximal all-out tests on 2000 and 6000 meters performed on a rowing ergometer is a valid predictor of the ventilatory anaerobic threshold. Moreover, it correlates even better with performed all-out ergometer tests and with VO2 max than VT so it can be recommended as a valid parameter for programming and control in the training process of rowers.
