The study was designed to analyse the anaerobic workability of 20-23 year-old middle-distance runners by a functionality test method. The test data and analyses made it possible to identify the most informative indices to rate the middle-distance runners’ competitive fitness. Prior to and after the precompetitive training period, the athletes were tested in laboratory conditions by a sub-maximal graded treadmill exercise test. The test generated the following data: anaerobic threshold (AnT): VO2 (l/min), VO2 (ml/min/kg), HR, VE (BTPS) l/min, VO2/HR, and the anaerobic threshold reaching time; maximal oxygen consumption (MOC): VO2 (l/min), VO2 (ml/min/kg), HR, VE (BTPS) l/min, VO2/HR, and MOC time. The post-training tests were run upon completion of the mid-altitude training period.
The study data and analyses showed that a top priority in the middle-distance runner’s fitness rating tests will be given to the oxygen consumption at the anaerobic threshold and VO2max rates; with the MOC and AnT growth rates being indicative of the runner’s functional fitness improvement and potential competitive progress.

Keywords: aerobic capacity, maximum oxygen consumption, anaerobic threshold, training process.
