The purposes of this study were to investigate (1) the contribution of the different muscular strength to the performance of 30-second indoor rowing maximal test (30-sec Test) and 6-minute indoor rowing all-out test (6-min Test); and (2) the effects of 6-week handgrip strength training on the performance of 30-secTest and 6-minTest. Twenty young male rowers (age: 14.7±1.2years, height: 172.4±7.7cm, weight: 66.3±8.9kg) were randomized (n=10) into the experimental and control groups. The experimental group performed 3 sets of 12 Repetition Maximum barbell wrist curl training 3 times per week for 6 weeks. A series of tests for muscular strength and the two rowing performances were carried out Pre and Post the training period. The results of 30-secTest was significant correlated with the sum of left and right handgrip strength (HGS) (r = .76 - .78; p<.01) and the leg and back strength (LBS) (r = .65 -. 66; p<.05). Significant correlation was recorded between the performance of 6-minTest and the LBS (r=.84; p<.01), but not with the HGS. Results of a paired t-test show that only the HGS improved significantly in the experimental group with an overall improvement of 9.6% (p<.05) but produced no significant changes in the performance of 30-sec Test and 6-minTest.

本研究探討:(1)身體不同部位的肌力分別對30秒賽艇機極速測試(30秒測試)和6分鐘的賽艇機測試(6分鐘測試)表現之關係;(2) 在接受6星期手握力訓練後分別對30秒測試和6分鐘測試之表現的影響。採用實驗研究法,隨機將20位男子賽艇學員分為實驗組和對照組。結果表明:(1)腳和腰的肌力與雙手握力總和在30秒測試表現有直接關係。(2)只有腳和腰的肌力與6分鐘測試表現有直接相關。另外,實驗組經過6星期手握力訓練後,雙手握力總和明顯增加了接近一成,但分別對30秒測試和6分鐘測試表現沒有顯注的提高。
