I found a sccor play ground(Midland Beach Soccer Field) located close to my house at Fathe capedano, Staten Island, NY. The test day was 05/08/16 and time was at 9:00am. My tester was my wife. She has a stopwatch with her to record the exact time it will take me to run the measured 1.5 miles distance. I did start at 9:00 and did finish at 9:18:30. I run fast as much as I could to run for the measured distance of 1.5 miles but at the last 2-3 minutes I could not run and I walked. After I ended the 1.5 miles I started to do some cool down for a few minutes by walking and lightly jogging. Once all of this is done, I did calculate my VO2max as the following: - The duration to perfrome the test was 18:30. * Formula for Determination of VO2max Based on 1.5 Mile Run / Walk Test • …show more content…
- I did not feel this is accurate assessment of my aerobic fitness because my running speed is not the same since I started that test till I finished. So the test neglect the speed of performance and this could affect the VO2max as well as where the test was performed I think the fresh air could affect the test performance too. - I suggested training to improve this type of performance to be done on a treadmill with period of warming up and cooling down period between the test performance period. I think the soccer players, Biker; Runner would perform best at this type of
For further investigation, a larger sample size should be used, along with repeating the experiment on several different days to minimise the effect of random errors on each subject’s specific result. Reference List: BBC 2014, Respiration, BBC, accessed 1 September 2015,.
Submaximal and maximal exercise testing are two analytic methods that can be used to examine the cardiovascular, and cardiorespiratory fitness/health levels of the individual being examined. Submaximal testing is usually preferred over maximal mainly because the submaximal exam is more 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, we must remember that the three systems are co-occurrent.
Over a three week period a test subject was instructed to come to the exercise physiology lab once a week. The purpose of the first week was to determine the baseline test data for the participant. During this first week, the subject was asked how many hours of sleep they had gotten the night before and how much they weighed. The subject was then instructed to put on a heart monitor and wear an O2 apparatus and begin running on a treadmill. This treadmill was set at zero incline for the beginning of the run until three minutes had passed. At the three minute mark the incline increased by 2.5%. After this the incline was continuously increased by 2.5% every two minutes. During this process, the VO2 and RER exchange rate of the subject was being tracked through the O2 apparatus. Their heart rate was recorded every 15 seconds. In addition, the subject was asked their perceived exertion at every increase in incline. The subject continued to run until they could not run anymore, at this time they would hop off the treadmill.
In a similar study, researchers determined VO2 max using four different methods of treadmill running, cycle ergometer, step test and prediction2. The results found that the treadmill had the highest VO2 max followed by the ergometer, and the step test and prediction were the lowest2. This supports the findings of our experiment, showing that VO2 max will be higher2 depending the tests mode of exercise and how trained the subject is in that exercise.
Cardiovascular fitness is a form of aerobic fitness (Neporent and Egan 1997). There are many different ways of evaluating the amount of oxygen used during cardiovascular fitness and one the methods involved is called VO2 Max. VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen that the body can hold. (Simon and Levisohm 1987). Cardiovascular fitness helps to improve a healthy lifestyle.
The use of the six principles of training by a 100m sprinter would greatly improve the athlete’s performance. This is because the progressive overload, specificity, reversibility, variety, training thresholds and warm up/cool down principles all greatly affect the performance of any athlete. The principles of training can be employed in order to improve all aspects of fitness, from flexibility to strength and aerobic endurance.

...ging or weaving to avoid the oppositions, or sometimes when recovering quickly from a collision or fall. Therefore in terms of fitness tests I am doing reasonably well however there are a few areas that need attention to.
A high degree of aerobic training such as small-sided games, continuous running and interval running may be needed to reach the desired level of aerobic 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)

Completing an ultramarathon a feat for anyone. However, for a 16 year old girl it seemed impossible. So why not? As a varsity cross country runner I am no stranger to running. The contradictory love-hate relationship strains the mind and body like to no other. My Junior year I started falling out of love with cross country, the distances, the races, and the running in general had gotten monotonous. I live by the phrase “You must be comfortable with being uncomfortable.” I constantly seek new challenges pushing myself beyond normal bounds. I wanted to do something incredible, so when I saw a sign for a 50k (31.5 mile) race in a few months I knew that it will be perfect!

I step out of my car and survey the parking lot. Not too many cars. That's the way I like it. I take a deep breath and savor the frsh air. Already, I can feel the pressure of deadlines lifted off my chest. I strap my skis on, and prepare not just to tackle a run but other situations in my life as well. I skate over to the first pitch of the double diamond slope, and map out where I will take the first couple turns. It is almost like I am assessing my goals in life: getting accepted into Syracuse, owning a house in Colorado, raising a healthy family.
