is more commonly referred to as VO2 max (Meyers & Shuman, 2014). The VO2 max of an individual will depend on their specific level of training and this variable will change with different workloads. However, VO2 max testing isn’t always suitable for every individual and therefore submaximal oxygen consumption tests were designed to approximate the VO2 max (Meyers & Shuman, 2014). A few justifications to use submaximal oxygen consumption tests rather than the VO2 max tests are for individuals with
VO2 max is defined as the maximum volume of oxygen that can be consumed per minute as a measure of fitness (Marlin). To accurately measure VO2 max a maximal amount of physical effort will be needed to fully tax the aerobic energy system. Exercise intensity will be increased while measuring ventilation and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration of the the inhaled and exhaled air. VO2 max is achieved when oxygen consumption remains at steady state despite an increase in work intensity. Those who are
Soccer-Specific VO2 Max Test (Aerobic Capacity and Endurance) The VO2 max test is useful to determine the aerobic capacity of a soccer player. VO2 max illustrates an individual’s oxygen consumption and it is correlated with exercise intensity (Brooks et al., 2005, p. 343). While it can be a time consuming test that requires trained individuals to conduct the test, it is a direct method and thought to be the best test that is indicative of “cardiovascular capacity and endurance performance” (Dill
In the above graph I have plotted the Pre Training %Vo2 Max compares to Lactate. At about the 75%-80% of the %Vo2 Max is when the subject started to accumulate lactate. The energy systems that I believe were used through the Vo2 Max test are ATP-PC and Glycolysis both fast and slow. I believe that the ATP-PC was used in the first 10-15seconds of activity after that it cannot make any more energy and the body turns to glycolysis (Kelso). The body would first enter fast glycolysis which would last
The first test performed was the VO2 Max test, which tests one’s aerobic capacity by using the 1 ½ mile run test to determine maximal oxygen consumption and for myself my VO2max was 34ml/kg/min which places me in the poor category. Next a muscular endurance test was completed to measure
Hypothesis: Even though the 1.5 mile run test will not produce the highest average VO2 max, the results of the 1.5 mile run will produce the most accurate VO2 max results as the test puts the most physiological demand on the body compared to the Queens College/McArdle Step Test and the Rockport One Mile Walk Test. Discussion: The Queens College/McArdle Step Test, the Rockport One Mile Walk Test, and the 1.5 Mile Run Test are three different field tests that were performed in this lab that were used
practical in a fitness/health environment. Both test require the individual being examined to perform controlled exercise on a(n) treadmill/ergometer until either steady state has consecutively been reached (submax), or the individual reaches their max (close to it). Being that both test are set to exceed time limits of more than 3 minutes we examine the use of the ATP-PC, Glycolytic, and Oxidative energy systems. Although a huge portion of the test involves the use of the oxidative energy system
tests, semi-laboratory tests, step tests, and laboratory VO2 max tests. Each technique required a different application, and had its own list of advantages and disadvantages which I will further discuss. The first technique, aerobic field testing, includes the Rockport 1 Mile Walking Test, the Cooper 1.5 Mile Test, and the 12 Minute Cooper Test. The Rockport Fitness Walking Test is a fairly simple and safe method used for determining VO2 max, or aerobic capacity. Aerobic capacity indicates the maximum
fitness. This test should be implemented again in the middle of pre-season training (to see if training alterations are needed) and at the end of pre-season training (to see if goals are reached). As well as this, trainers can compare results to V02 max score equivalents which is the gold-standard indicator of aerobic fitness. (Mackenzie, no date)
A Closer Look at Tackling In rugby when you do not have the ball you have to defend. To do this you stop the opposition by tackling the person with the ball. Tackling is a very important skill in rugby whatever position you are playing and it is one of my strengths. Not only is it the skill of tackling that I am good at but the decision to choose the type of tackle. There are many forms of tackling and they are needed in different circumstances. For example when you are tackling someone
Introduction: The research study my group and I examined was titled, “Endurance and Strength Training Effects on Physiological and Muscular Parameters during Prolonged Cycling.” This study done by Hausswirth et. all was published in 2010 in the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology. When performing in a triathlon, which consists of swimming, cycling, and running in a single continuous event, it is generally accepted throughout the exercise science community, that “over performing” during the
DETERMINATION OF MAXIMAL OXYGEN CONSUMPTION (VO2MAX) LAB REPORT Introduction Background: In this lab, we explored the theory of maximal oxygen consumption. “Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is defined as the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken up and utilized by the body during severe exercise” (Bassett and Howley, 2000). VO2max is measured in millimeters of O2 consumed per kilogram of body weight per min (ml/kg/min). It is commonly known as a good way to determine a subject’s cardio-respiratory
The Cooper 12 minute The Cooper 12 minute run test is one of the popular field tests used for measuring aerobic fitness. Invented by Dr Ken Cooper in 1968, this fitness test was firstly used to estimate the VO2max of troops in the military. Dr Cooper discovered that there was a high correlation between a person's VO2max value and the distance they can run. This test is still very popular in the military as it is used for testing basic fitness. Over the years, it has also been used by trainers and
Fitness Discussion My VO2Max is 36.6 ml/kg/min, which has a rating of fair. My fair VO2Max indicates that I am at an increase of lifetime risk of all causes of disease. My Muscular Strength as measured by 1RM for bench press is 222 lbs. This has a rating of 1.24, which shows that my Muscular Strength is good. The health implications are that I am not at an increased risk for musculoskeletal injuries in day to day activities related to muscular strength and atrophy. My Muscular Endurance is 9 repetition
Overtraining In this paper I will be looking at an article called The Over Training Syndrome, which was written in 1994. I will be comparing the information in the article with the content from the week 6 Qualifying Sports Training lecture. This will be done by directly quoting the article, then the lecture and having a short discussion on the quoted point. The four areas of comparison will be; the definition of overtraining, the cause of overtraining, the effects of over training, and the recovery
Estimated VO2max I calculated my estimated VO2max (maximal oxygen consumption that the human body is able to utilize per minute of physical activity) by completing the testing procedures for the YMCA step tests and jogging a mile. Each of these methods required different guidelines to find my estimated VO2max, and after analyzing my data, I was able to compare my results to normative tables for the three tests in order to find my cardiovascular fitness classification. It is important to know one’s
After that, the subjects were ready to begin testing. During the first eight visits, the participants performed the exhaustion ride (ER) at the same time of day. Most of the ERs were performed on a week by week premise, but sometimes it went up to 3 weeks in between test sessions. The first phase of the ER involved 5 min of non-stop cycling at around 50% VO2max with a pedal frequency that was between 60 and 100 rev/min. During the second phase, subjects rode until they felt exhausted at roughly 80%
My exposure to exercise physiology is far from conventional. Rather than engaging it as an academic hobbyist, I was drawn to it out of necessity and utility in the U.S. Army. Rather than following anachronistic military physical training, I took it upon myself to learn more about exercise science. What started as tool for my job soon turned into my passion. I understood how exercise physiology was more than a foray into the underpinnings of strength and conditioning, but something that had a meaningful
It’s difficult to ignore – the music industry is not what it was a decade ago, let alone a few years ago. The world has changed so much from a technological standpoint over the years, and how that has affected music has been huge. Technology has altered how music is transmitted, composed, preserved, performed, and heard. With all of this being said, I am personally in defense of high tech. Of course, like anything, there are drawbacks; however, I believe that technology has only added to the tools
Today, bureaucratic ideas are still widely used among organizations, however a shift in thinking occurred and the question was asked, What are the alternatives if bureaucracy it not working in an organization? Bureaucracies Defined: According to Max Weber, bureaucracy is the most efficient and most rational known means of exercising authority over human beings (Weber, p223). Further it is reliable, precise and stable, these are all terms that are desired for large complex organizations that need
