The objective of the present study was to assess the changes of the level of anaerobic capacity in 26 hockey players of Polish national team (under 18 years of age) during 7-month preparation period for World Championship in 2003. Conclusions: Considerable increment of parameters of power and work observed after the 1st competition period (September-December) in relation to the ones recorded after the period of specific preparation. Increment of Pmax and Wtot values within September-December period accompanies the increment of effectiveness of the leading metabolic source (anaerobic glycolysis). Stabilisation of ergometric parameters is accompanied by increased energetic cost.
