Purposes of this study were to investigate how maximal oxygen uptake (VO_2max) relates to body weight and lean body weight in male swimmers, and to clarify characteristics of prepubertal male swimmers. 17 prepubertal male swimmers with a mean age of 11.3±0.6 years and 19 college male swimmers of 20.4±0.9 years old were measured for lean body weight by underwater-weighing method and VO_2max by flume swimming. They all were well trained swimmers. Correlation between VO_2max and lean body weight for prepubertal swimmers was found to be higher (r=0.898, p<0.001) than for college swimmers (r=0.604, p<0.01). In addition, correlation between VO_2max and body weight for prepubertal swimmers was found to be higher (r=0.825, p<0.001) than for college swimmers (r=0.588, p<0.01). It was also shown that prepubertal swimmers had a significantly smaller VO_2max per 1 kg of lean body weight than college swimmers. Therefore, it was concluded that the respiratory-cardiovascular system of prepubertal male swimmers was not matured or improved enough for VO_2max measurement even when they were well trained for their age.
