ALL WE KNOW ABOUT MARY IS THAT SHE IS 27 YEARS

OLD, SEDENTARY AND HER VO2MAX IS 38ML/KG/MIN.

VO2 MAX IS CONSIDERED THE IDEAL MEASUREMENT FOR

THE CARDIOPULMONARY FITNESS LEVEL.

THE VO2MAX VALUE OF OUR SUBJECT IS LOW

ACCORDING TO HER AGE.

VO2 AND VO2 MAX REPRESENT THE ORGANISM ABILITY

TO GENERATE ATP.

WE KNOW THAT ATP CAN BE GENERATED DURING

EXERCISES EVEN WITHOUT OXYGEN BUT ONLY FOR
SHORT AMOUNTS OF TIME.

BACK TO OUR SUBJECT, MARY, AND HER CHOICE OF

TRAINING, THAT BEING RUNNING, SWIMMING AND
CYCLING, WE CAN CLEARLY SEE HER CHOICE IS AEROBIC
ENDURANCE FOCUSED.

DURING THIS TYPE OF TRAINING, HER MUSCULAR CELLS

REQUIRE OXYGEN, THE OXYGEN CONTRIBUTION BEING
THE MAIN SOURCE OF ATP.

THE RISE OF VO2MAX FROM 38ML/KG/MIN TO

52ML/KG/MIN OF OUR SUBJECT IS THE RESULT OF THE
RESISTANCE AND ADAPTATION TO A CONSTANT AND
PRECISE 6 MONTH AEROBIC TRAINING SCHEDULE.
