Document Summary

This is the duration of exercise above ventilatory threshold. Critical power is the highest work rate a person can maintain (highest sustainable work rate) Theoretically, if you keep dropping the work, you can continue it forever but in reality for just 12-24 minutes critical power is highest sustainable work in this time period. Atmosphere above the earth keeps getting thinner and thinner, lower pressure; the pressure increases are you go down the sea level. Barometic pressure is lower as you go higher into the atmosphere partial pressure of oxygen will drop as well as you go higher in altitude. There is a mixture of residual air mixing with the fresh air this leads to a decrease in partial pressure of oxygen. Partial pressure of o2 drops as altitude increase 20. 93% sea level. At pikes peak, the oxyhemoglobin saturation drops as the partial pressure drops (67% -
