An experiment to test whether Submaximal tests are valid predictor of V02 max.
Abstract:
Introduction:
Maximal oxygen uptake can be defined as the amount of 02 that a person can extract from the atmosphere and then transport and use in tissues (Kent 2006). McArdle et al (2006) explains that V02 max represents the greatest amount of oxygen a person can use to produce ATP aerobically during endurance or high intensity exercise. Therefore it is a measure of aerobic energy production. V02 max provides useful information about long-term energy system capacity, representing a fundamental measure in exercise physiology and serves as a standard to compare performance estimates of aerobic capacity and endurance fitness (McArdle et al, 2006). Maximal oxygen consumption is dependent on the oxygen transport systems ability to deliver blood and capacity of cells to take up and utilise oxygen in energy expenditure, (Noonan and Dean, 2002). Powers and Howley (2003) illustrate that V02......
