1
Q
What is VO2 max?
A
The maximum volume of oxygen taken in and used per minute
2
Q
What factors affect VO2 max?
A
Age
Lifestyle
Gender
Genetics
3
Q
What is lactate threshold (OBLA)?
A
The point at which lactic acid starts to accumulate in the blood
4
Q
Advantages of a higher VO2 max
A
Higher aerobic power
More O2 available so more lactic acid can be broken down
Higher lactate threshold- delaying use of anaerobic systems
Increased O2 carrying capacity
Performer able to work at higher intensities for longer periods of time
More chance to win endurance events
Recover faster
5
Q
How can VO2 max be increased?
A
Aerobic/ continuous training
