Background. Human physical health is considered as the degree of development of aerobic and anaerobic energy supply systems for muscle activity. Several scientific studies indicate differences in indicators characterizing anaerobic alactic and anaerobic lactic energy supply modes in individuals of different morphological types. Another factor that must be considered when studying human functional capabilities is the regional factor, as functional abilities are influenced by the level of well-being, regional traditions, dietary habits typical for a particular area, and landscape features. The aim of the study is to determine the characteristics of the development of anaerobic energy supply processes in young men of different somatotypes living in the lowland regions of Zakarpattia.
Methods. The study involved 112 young men aged 17–21 years residing in the lowland regions of Zakarpattia. The power of the anaerobic alactic energy system was assessed using the 10-second WAnT 10 test. The power of the anaerobic lactic energy system was assessed using the 30-second WAnT 30 test. The capacity of the anaerobic lactic energy system was determined using the 60-second Shogy & Cherebetin test. Somatotype was determined using the Heath-Carter method.
Results. In absolute and relative values of WAnT 10 and WAnT 30, the highest indicators were found in representatives of the mesomorphic and mesoectomorphic somatotypes. The lowest absolute values of WAnT 10 and WAnT 30 were observed in representatives of the ectomorphic and balanced somatotypes. The relative WAnT 10 values of the endomesomorphic somatotype were significantly lower than those of all other somatotypes, while the relative WAnT 30 values of the endomesomorphic somatotype were significantly lower than those of the mesomorphic, mesoectomorphic, and balanced somatotypes.
In terms of absolute maximal capacity of the lactic anaerobic energy system, significantly higher values were found in the mesoectomorphic somatotype compared to all other somatotypes, while the lowest values were recorded in the endomesomorphic somatotype compared to the mesomorphic, mesoectomorphic, and balanced somatotypes. Regarding the relative PPO indicator, significantly higher values were observed in the mesoectomorphic somatotype compared to the ectomorphic and endomesomorphic somatotypes. Significantly lower relative PPO values were found in the endomesomorphic somatotype compared to all other somatotypes.
Conclusions. Young males of different somatotypes residents in the lowland regions of Zakarpattia significantly differ in the degree of development of anaerobic energy supply processes for muscle activity. The highest values of anaerobic alactic and lactic energy system power were observed in representatives of the mesomorphic and mesoectomorphic somatotypes, where mesomorphy predominates. The highest capacity values of anaerobic lactic energy processes were characteristic of the mesoectomorphic somatotype. The lowest values across all anaerobic performance indicators were observed in the endomesomorphic somatotype, where endomorphy is predominant.
