The aim of this study was to examine cardio‐pulmonary capacity for gymnasium, anaerobic power, and body composition according to the motion load examination in highschool athletes. A total of 33 highschool athletes who are playing 4 different types of sports including basketball, soccer, tennis, weight lifting were participated in this study and their cardio‐pulmonary function, anaerobic power and body composition were investigated. Collected data were analyzed by one way ANOVA using windows SPSS Ver.12.0 and Duncan technique was used for post‐hoc test. P‐value less than .05 was considered as statistical significance. Basketball, soccer, and tennis players presented significantly higher maximum oxygen consumption than weight lifting players, while there was no difference in maximal heart rate according to different sports type in highschool athletes. There were no statistical differences in peak power and average power in highschool athletes. Weight lifting athlete presented significantly higher BMI and % body fat than basketball, soccer, and tennis players and statistical difference was observed in their fat free mass as well. In conclusion, cardio‐pulmonary function and body composition were different according to types of sports in highschool athletes while there was no difference in anaerobic power. These results may provide basic scientific data to improve the performance of highschool athletes by comparing cardio‐pulmonary function, anaerobic power, and body composition according to types of sports.
