melaniej:
So, if an athlete can work above their VO2 max, does that mean they are working anaerobically?
I kind of understand why/how it happens, but struggle so much when putting it into words...

mtwtfss:
Yes, when they use the anaerobic energy systems in addition to the aerobic system you are able to work at levels above V02 max.

Tends to be the LA system, because the ATP-PC system has not had time to replenish its PC stores.

Also, make sure you know what V02 max levels are usually associated with different types of athletes, not exactly right, just a brief understanding.

melaniej:
just that higher vo2 max = endurance athletes using aerobic system and all that? not like the exact numbers?

mtwtfss:
You need to know roughly the exact numbers.

e.g. give me a figure for the V02max for an endurance athlete, and also a cardiac patient.

melaniej:
Hmm, endurance athlete should have ~60+

And cardiac patient maybe....35-40 ish ??
