Document Summary

Maximal aerobic power: direct measurement of maximal aerobicpower, physiological determinants of vo2max. The maximum oxygen uptake provides important information on the capacity of the oxygen transport system. Test protocols: the test protocol should exceed 6 minutes but be less than. 40-50 approximately 15 min: incorporate a warm-up period - first stage of test, the test protocol should be arranged in stages, with each stage progressively increasing in intensity until the termination criteria is reached. This is test and protocol dependent: blood lactate levels should be 8 millimoles/liter or greater, 3-5 minutes post exercise, respiratory exchange ratio (vco2 divided by vo2) should be greater than. Factors affecting maximal aerobic power: mode of exercise. Since local muscle capillarization and aerobic enzyme levels are important determinants of vo2 max. , athletes should ideally be tested in the mode of exercise used in their sport, i. e. , rowers should be measured while rowing, cyclists while cycling, etc.
