This study was aimed at comparing the force-velocity relationship during cycling and arm cranking in males and females. Thirty-two male and twenty-two female healthy volunteers performed a force-velocity test on a cycle ergometer and a cranking ergometer in a randomly selected order. The theoretical values of the maximum force at zero speed (F) and the maximum velocity at zero braking force (v) for the lower and upper limbs were determined, and the maximum anaerobic power (Pmax) was calculated from the individual force-velocity relationship. The Pmax and F of the upper limbs related to the lower limbs correspond to 78.2 ± 14.3% and 80.1 ± 17.3% in men and 65.5 ± 12.5% and 74.5 ± 6.5% in women, respectively. The theoretical maximum velocity v of the upper limbs to the lower limbs attained 129.1 ± 29.0% in men and 127.4 ± 26.4% in women. The results of the study can serve as reference data for the force-velocity characteristics of the upper and lower limbs of male and female athletes. The results can be used both in training and rehabilitation programs, where the starting point is the objectification of possible strength deficits in various areas of the force-velocity characteristic spectrum of the muscles of the upper and lower limbs.
本研究旨在比较男性和女性在骑自行车和进行手臂曲柄运动时的力-速度关系。32名男性和22名女性健康志愿者以随机选择的顺序在自行车测力计和曲柄测力计上进行了力-速度测试。确定了下肢和上肢在零速度时的最大力（F）和零制动力时的最大速度（v）的理论值，并根据个体力-速度关系计算出最大无氧功率（Pmax）。上肢与下肢的Pmax和F在男性中分别对应于78.2±14.3%和80.1±17.3%，在女性中分别对应于65.5±12.5%和74.5±6.5%。上肢与下肢的理论最大速度v在男性中达到129.1±29.0%，在女性中达到127.4±26.4%。该研究结果可作为男女运动员上下肢力-速度特征的参考数据。这些结果可用于训练和康复计划，其出发点是客观化上下肢肌肉力-速度特征谱各区域可能存在的力量缺陷。
