To discuss: The “specificity of testing” for the determination of VO2 max.
Introduction: The physical performances are usually assessed by the two principal approaches and are the field test of performance and physical fitness that consist of a variety of measurements needed for basic performance demands and the assessment of physiological capacities in the laboratory such as maximal aerobic power, exercise economy, and anaerobic power.
To give: The brief overview of the design of an incremental test to determine VO2 max.
Introduction: Exercise training includes all the bodily activities that help to enhance or maintain physical fitness for overall health and wellness. Exercise can be performed for various reasons such as to aid growth, improve strength, prevent aging, develop muscles, weight loss, and also for enjoyment.
To determine: The criteria that can be used to determine the validity of a VO2 max test.
Introduction: The maximal ability for the heart, lungs, and blood to transport oxygen to other tissues in the body and utilize it to transform energy is called the maximal oxygen uptake or VO2 max. An increase in oxygen consumption and uptake usually results in (VO2max).
