OXYGEN CONSUMPTION Oxygen consumption (VO2) is the amount of oxygen taken up and utilized by the body per minute. The oxygen taken into the body at the level of the lungs is ultimately transported by the cardiovascular system to the systemic tissues and is used for the production of ATP in the mitochondria of our cells. Because most of the energy in the body is produced aerobically‚ VO2 can be used to determine how much energy a subject is expending. VO2 can be reported in absolute terms (L/min)

VO2 Max 10/26/2013 Introduction: In this lab it was studied what differences were present in VO2 Max according to the many variables for females and males. VO2 max is defined by the maximum amount of oxygen utilized during extreme exercise. It is known as the best indicator to the efficiency of athletes or persons cardiovascular capabilities during fitness. It is important to know the general VO2 max of an athlete because‚ philosophically of course‚ the more oxygen used during

Jonathan Nebelsick VO2 Max Tests Conclusion Submaximal VO2 tests are extremely useful for determining estimated VO2 maxes for a subject for a variety of reasons. VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen that can be used by a person undergoing intense physical exertion. VO2 max is considered the best test of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. If a person can utilize more oxygen‚ then they are able to use that oxygen as a final electron acceptor to make ATP through aerobic metabolism

aerobic capacity‚ or VO2 max. The maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is a measure of a subject’s ability to take in and utilize oxygen during exercise. A subject with a greater VO2 max value will exhibit greater potential to sustain high intensity exercise for an extended length of time. Theoretically‚ subjects with greater VO2 max values possess greater concentrations of hemoglobin in the blood‚ thus enabling them to utilize more oxygen during intense exercise. The first VO2

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between 5k running performance and a number of physiological variables in a group of 11 trained club runners (Age 21.451.63yrs‚ Height 175.092.77cm‚ Weight 67.865.12kg). The athletes underwent a laboratory treadmill test to determine their maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and running

The value of VO2 max represents a body’s ability to generate energy‚ such as ATP‚ necessary for physical activities (Di Giuseppe‚ 2003). The equation VO2 max (mL/kg/min) is 132.853 – 0.1696m – 0.3877a + 6.3150g – 3.2649t – 0.1565r‚ where m is mass of a person in kilogram‚ a is the age of the person‚ g is equal to one for male zero for female‚ t is time in minutes‚ and r is heart rate calculated in beats in a minute.

fitness (endurance)‚ a component of physical fitness is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. Usually expressed as measured or estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max ) is the body’s capacity to transport and use oxygen during a maximal exertion involving dynamic contraction of large muscle groups‚ such as during running or cycling. It is also known as maximal aerobic power and cardiorespiratory

Aerobic capacity is how well the lungs‚ heart and the blood vessels work together‚ and VO2 Max is the maximum oxygen consumption attainable during maximal work. VO2 max can only be improved in 10 – 20% of the population‚ with training. The training that is best suited to improving VO2 max is: Continuous Training which is about running at moderate to high intensity. Athletes who use continuous
