摘要：Selected anthropometric measurements,oxygen response to submaximal exercise and a maximal test in 9 (7 fema les,2 males) twin pairs were as sessed.High correlation (r>0.90,p<0.001) wer e observed for anthropometric me asu rem ents of twin pairs.However,correlations for oxygen consumption during submaxim al exercise and firs t couple of minutes of maximal test w ere moderate (r<0.65 and r<0.59f respectively,p>0.05) in twin pairs.Moreover,correlations fo r oxygen consumption of subsequent time of the maximal test in twin pairs were good (r>0.77,p<0.05).In addition,correlation fo r the time to exhau stio n during the max imal test was poor (r=0,37) fo r twin pairs.Finally,the fin ding s of this stud y show tha t in spite o f high correlation in anthropometric characteristics,oxy gen respon se to submcυdmal exercise and a maximal test (particularly at the beginning of the test) are not correlated in twin pairs.
