Lab 8 Intro Questions
What are the two pros and two cons of using a field test to estimate VO2max?
Why is heart rate recovery used to estimate VO2max during the step test? How would this differ in an endurance athlete vs. a sedentary individual? Why?
Would an 800-meter sprint be a good field test to estimate VO2max? Why or why not?
Explain the 12-minute run test and the 1-mile walk test. What are their major limitations?
Graded submaximal tests can also be used to estimate VO2max (e.g. YMCA submaximal cycle test). What are three potential sources of error during these tests?
Define and describe the Fick Equation. What are the components and how do they relate to each other?
What physiological adaptations cause training-induced changes in VO2max?
What specific physiological adaption would cause an increase in VO2max in the first 2 weeks of training?
How would VO2max results differ between graded exercise tests (GXTs) on a treadmill vs cycle ergometer? Why?
Is VO2max by itself the best indicator of endurance performance? Why or why not? What other factors influence endurance performance?
