Document Summary
Aerobic power (vo2) = energy transformed during aerobic physical activities per. Changes in vo2 during growth provide an indication of changes in aerobic power. Aerobic capacity (vo2 peak) = total energy available to perform aerobic physical unit time o activities. The rate at which muscles can generate energy from aerobic metabolism depends upon the ability of the pulmonary, cardiovascular, haematological, and cellular mecha- nisms to transport o2 to the contracting muscles o move. Absolute aerobic power (vo2) is calculated irrespective of size (l/min) Directly related to body size a bigger body requires more aerobic power to. Relative vo2 controls for (i. e. , takes into account) body size (height, weight, or lean body mass) and is measured in: o. If you travel to halifax (225 km), you require 25 litres of gas total amount consumed absolute value. The efficiency of your engine is 9 km per litre (225 km/25l) relative value efficiency of the engine.
