FACTORS AFFECTING VO2max
• availability of O2 in the tissue
– whether haemoglobin
arriving at tissue is fully
saturated with O2
– the limitations of the cardiovascular and
pulmonary systems which varies from individual
to individual
– whether myglobin in muscle cells is fully saturated
with O2 (has sufficient recovery time elapsed?)

FACTORS AFFECTING VO2max
• VO2max reduces at about 10%
per decade during ageing - for
sedentary people
•
•
•
•
VO2max reduces less for active
sportspeople as they age
aerobic training can cause VO2max
to be improved by 10 - 20%
women have greater reductions
in VO2max from late teens
onwards
probably because of the tradition
of less physical activity for women

AEROBIC FITNESS TESTS
PREDICTED VO2max
• PWC 170 test
– predicts the power output of a subject at a HR of 170 bpm
– by measuring HR at a 100W cycle ergometer rating and 150W rating
– when the subject is at a steady state
– then projecting the results for power to a HR of 170
• Cooper Run Test
– measures the distance run in 12 minutes
– and correlates this (as direct proportionality) to the VO2max
• NCF multistage shuttle run test (bleep test)
– the subject runs a progressively quicker shuttle run to exhaustion
– each step in the progression is numbered
– the step reached by the subject is correlated to the VO2max
• the FITECH step test
• Queen’s College step test
ACTUAL VO2max test
• a treadmill protocol which is a progressive test to exhaustion
– the VO2 is measured at each stage measuring exhaled air oxygen consumption

• repeated tests would show the effects of endurance training on
VO2max
GENDER DIFFERENCES
• sociocultural
• females carry more body fat
• females have lower Hb counts therefore
less O2 carrying capacity
• males produce more testosterone
thereby increasing strength and efficiency
of myocardial muscle
PREDOMINANT MUSCLE FIBRE TYPE

60 seconds
• involving low forces
• where breathing is comfortable and
the activity is aerobic
• examples :
– jogging, swimming, step aerobics
FARTLEK TRAINING
• fartlek means ‘speed play’
• pace is varied from sprinting to
jogging
• this is a combined form of continuous
and interval training
INTERVAL TRAINING

rest relief
• example :

effort
• with 30 seconds rest relief
between repetitions, and 3

Aerobic Capacity
MONITORING EXERCISE INTENSITY
TARGET HEART RATE
• a specific heart rate (HR) to be
achieved and maintained during exercise
• if aerobic adaptations are to occur,
training must take place at a HR above
the aerobic threshold
• this theory is based on the fact that VO2
is proportional to HR
HR ESTIMATION
• HR will depend on fitness of athlete
• maximum HR
HRmax = 220 - age
• aerobic threshold (Karvonen)
HR
= HRrest + 0.6(HRmax - HRrest)
• example :
– age
= 20, HRrest = 70 bpm
– HRmax = 220 - 20 = 200 bpm
– aerobic threshold HR
= 70 + 0.6(200 - 70)
= 70 + 0.6 x 130 = 70 + 78
= 148 bpm

FOOD FUEL USAGE FOR AEROBIC ACTIVITY
FOOD FUEL USAGE
• this depends on :
– EXERCISE INTENSITY
– EXERCISE DURATION
AT REST
• ATP utilisation is slow
• a mixture of fats and carbohydrates is
used to resynthesise ATP
FOR LOW INTENSITY LONG DURATION
AEROBIC ACTIVITY
• usage of a variety of fuels
• but mainly the oxidation of a mixture of
CHO and fats
• the longer the exercise the bigger the
proportion of ATP resynthesis provided
by fats

FOOD FUEL USAGE FOR AEROBIC ACTIVITY
SOURCES OF FUELS
• main source of CHO for muscular energy during exercise is glucose
• derived from stored muscle and liver glycogen
• lack of CHO fuel is the limiting factor for aerobic endurance performance
•
•
•
•
•
main source of fat for muscular energy during exercise is free fatty acids
(FFA)
derived from triglycerides stored as adipose tissue under the skin and in
muscle tissue
triglycerides break
down into FFA for
entry into the

system
proteins become a
significant source of
energy only in

ADAPTATIONS PRODUCED BY AEROBIC TRAINING
CARDIAC RESPONSE
• blood plasma volume increases with training
• therefore increased blood plasma volume enters left ventricle
• increasing the stretch of the ventricular walls by the Frank-Starling mechanism
•
•
•
•
•
•
cardiac hypertrophy – heart becomes bigger and stronger (mainly left ventricle)
increased ventricular muscle mass and stronger elastic recoil of the myocardium
causes a more forceful contraction during ventricular systole
therefore stroke volume increases and HR decreases (bradycardia)
and hence providing more oxygen per pulse
the net effect is up to 20% bigger stroke volume and greater oxygen
delivery to muscles

Aerobic Capacity
AEROBIC CAPACITY
ADAPTATIONS PRODUCED BY AEROBIC TRAINING
• cardiovascular system becomes more efficient
VASCULAR RESPONSE
• more haemoglobin is created and is available in blood for oxygen transport
• capillary system in muscle bed is utilised better and developed
• there is increased capillarisation of trained muscle
• and improved dilation of existing capillaries due to increased blood volume
• increased elasticity and thickness of smooth muscle of arterial walls makes
walls tougher and therefore less likely to stretch under pressure
• hence a more effective blood distribution
• this maintains blood pressure forcing blood through capillary network
• during ageing arteries lose muscle and hence stretch more under pressure
• hence greater BP required to force blood through capillary system
• heart has to work harder
BLOOD VESSELS IN THE HEART
• blood flow to heart decreases because heart muscle is more efficient
• hence decrease in resting HR
• and increase in diastolic HR during maximal workloads

Aerobic Capacity
AEROBIC CAPACITY
ADAPTATIONS PRODUCED BY AEROBIC TRAINING
• pulmonary systems become more efficient
RESPIRATORY RESPONSE
• musculature of torso becomes stronger and more efficient
• lung volumes increase slightly, greater volumes of air can be breathed per
breath
• increase in VC at the expense of RV
• hence decrease in breathing rate (f) at submaximal workloads
• and increase in breathing rate (f) at maximal workloads
• hence large increase in volume of air breathed per minute (VE)
•
•
•
increase in pulmonary blood flow and plasma volume
efficiency of alveoli improves, and more alveoli are utilised
hence increased gaseous exchange and VO2max
RECOVERY
• improved oxygen recovery
• with better muscle capillarisation and efficient cool-down, lactic acid removal is
improved
• hence reduction in DOMS

FACTORS AFFECTING STRENGTH
MUSCLE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA
• gender is a significant factor because females in general have muscles
with smaller cross section than males
• hence a smaller muscle mass on average for females by about 20%
compared with males
• there is less total phosphagen available for maximal muscle contractions
• hence peak power on average 20% less for females compared with
males
•
apart from gender, muscle mass differences between individuals is
a large factor when accounting for strength
GENDER
• females have lower levels of lactic acid in their blood following
maximal exercise compared with males
• this suggests that female capacity for utilising glycolysis is lower
•
•
females tend to have a higher proportion of body fat than males
hence females would have a lower strength to weight ratio because
of this factor

FACTORS AFFECTING STRENGTH
TYPE OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION TAKING PLACE
• the following graph show the relationship between force produced during
eccentric, static and concentric contraction against rate of muscle
contraction
•
eccentric work exceeds the
isometric maximum by about
30%
•
this is because the body is able to
mobilise a greater number of
motor units and hence muscle
force
•
the extra force attempts to
prevent full lengthening of
the muscle
which would reduce injury risk caused by stretching a muscle under full
tension
•
•
this large force acts to brake and control the movement

hence % of type II increases and % of type I decreases
increase in muscle cell stores such as ATP, PC, and glycogen
increase in anaerobic enzymes such as creatine kinase (CK), PFK, GPP, and LDH
increase toleration of lactate in fast twitch fibres
improved ability to remove lactate from muscle cell into blood
therefore enhancement of alactic / lactate and lactate / aerobic thresholds - delay
in OBLA
hence improved capacities of alactic and lactic acid systems to resynthesise ATP
and ability to maintain maximal power output for longer
decrease in DOMS, particularly following eccentric training

PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS CAUSED BY MOBILITY TRAINING
ADAPTATIONS
• limited stretching of soft tissues :
– ligaments
– tendons
• increase in resting / residual length
– skeletal muscle tissue
•
inhibition of stretch reflex as muscle spindles
lengthen
– the stretch reflex limits flexibility
– therefore this inhibition would improve flexibility

• fluids for hydration
• light complex CHO such as pasta / wholemeal bread at least 3 hours before activity
• fruit (banana) contains complex CHO and small amounts of glucose
• effect is to provide the slow release of blood glucose
• and reduce hunger sensations
FOOD / FLUID INTAKE DURING OR IN BETWEEN EXERCISE
• water loss of as little as 2% to 3% can reduce performance
• hence an isotonic sports drink including very diluted sodium and glucose content
• prevents dehydration and supplements energy reserves
• or just take water

CREATINE SUPPLEMENTATION
• creatine is a substance found in skeletal muscle
• stored as phosphocreatine (PC)
• supplementation increases PC levels to enhance the ATP-PC system of ATP
resynthesis
• thereby delaying the alactic / lactic threshold
GLUTAMINE
• is an amino acid forming part of skeletal muscle and immune cells
• supplementation after exercise therefore reinforces the immune system and
reduces the risk of infection
CAFFEINE
• stimulates the CNS but acts as a diuretic - this can lead to dehydration
• illegal in large quantities
ALCOHOL
• a relaxant in quite small quantities
• absorbed into the body as an alternative to water therefore causes dehydration
• quite small quantities of alcohol can cause a drastic loss of performance

BLOOD DOPING
• involves the removal of athlete’s own blood which is then stored
• the athlete’s body then remanufactures blood to replace that taken
• then the stored blood is reinfused
• this temporarily increases red blood cell count (polycythemia)
• problem of mis-matching can lead to a transfusion reaction
• increases VO2max and hence energy delivery to enhance aerobic
performances
rEPO
• involves infusion of hormone recombinant erythropoietin 6 weeks
prior to major event
• stimulating erythrocytes (up to 10% more) - red blood cells
• increases VO2max and hence energy delivery to enhance aerobic
performances
• but elevates red blood cell production that can reach toxic life-threatening
levels
• other risks are blood clots, strokes / coronary thrombosis, very low resting

ALTITUDE TRAINING
• a predominantly endurance-based exercise programme used by elite endurance
athletes from a range of sports
• consisting of 2 visits of at least two weeks duration per visit, to altitude (normally
between 1800-3000 metres)
• second visit just prior to major competition
• training at altitude uses the fact that the body will create more haemoglobin
• to compensate for the reduction in oxygen available
• benefits : reversible physiological adaptations
– increased Hb concentration
– increases in myoglobin mitochondria and oxidative enzymes
• hence on return to sea level we have an increased VO2max and tissue cell
respiration leading to enhanced aerobic performance
• risks : hypoxia, altitude sickness
PSYCHOLOGICAL
• imagery / hypnosis stimulate mental rehearsal of relevant skills
• by activating neural pathways that reinforce skill
THERAPIES
• physiotherapy / acupuncture / herbal medicines used in injury treatment
• reduce muscle soreness and aid recovery of local damaged tissue
