Document Summary

Knes 373 final exam study guide part 1. Knes 373 lecture 15 assessment of aerobic exercise (vo2max: aerobic metabolism occurs in the mitochondria. It uses o2 to metabolize fats and carbohydrates. Combines with substrate to produce co2 and h2o. Vo2max: changing the initial intensity, protocol, speed, power, etc. can give us different results not a perfect science, at some point, vo2 levels out even though power output is still increasing (plateaus) = vo2max. ), dependent on system of measurement (time of day or algorithms used by system to calculate vo2), dependent on motivation (reach vo2max or vo2peak) Lack of plateau seen in 50% of subjects. Laboratory dependent criteria: rer > 1. 05 or 1. 1 or 1. 15; hr > 90% or 100% of age-predicted. Estimate vo2 and vo2max based off of oxygen consumption (which increases when a person is working harder: people may want to measure vo2max or map (power) or mav (velocity).
