VO2 max and OBLA

?

 VO2 max:

Definitions:

- The amount of oxygen the body can take in and use in one minute

- Maximum volume of oxygen that can be consumed during maximal workout

- Maximum oxygen consumpton attainable during maximal work

VO2 = Volume of oxygen consumed 

Factors Affecting VO2 max:

- Gender

- Age

- Genetics

- Training intensity

- Amount of haemoglobin in the blood 

- Amount of capilalries around the lungs and the working muscles

For training aimed at improving a performers VO2 max using the aerobic system the work - relief ratio is normally longer in duration and intensity, just below the anaerobic threshold.

The relief ratio is typically shorter (1:1) which helps reduce the OBLA and delay muscle fatigue and therefore prolong the aerobic system adaptations.

APPLY IT!

some elite marathon runners or cross country skiiers can perform up to 90% of their VO2 max without significant lactic
