Abstract
Intense physical efforts performed at maximal or near-maximal speeds are important for successful of team-sport performance. The aim of our paper is to find out if are any differences between female football players and female 7th rugby players in relation with their body mass index. 26 female athletes (rugby N=12; football N=14), with a mean age 20.56±3.31 years participated in this study. Certain anthropometric measurements as height and weight and Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test for anaerobic performance were conducted. On the base of measurements we found out the fatigue index.Statistical analyses relieved no statistical differences for fatigue index between groups, and Pearson moment revealed a higher correlation between fatigue index and anthropometrics (height and weight). In conclusion, fatigue index depends on specific sports (team, individual), gender and not in the end on height and weight.
