Age
Vo2 max declines with age. Aerobic training helps maintain aerobic capacity
Gender
Males have higher Vo2 than females by 15-30%. this is due to having bigger hearts and lungs
Training
Aerobically trained people are likely to have a larger vo2 max.
Testing
PWC 170
Is a test that predicts an athletes power output at a rate of 170 beats per minutes
Simple to set up and conduct
Need specialist equpiment
Multi stage fitness
Also know as the bleep test. Test your aerobic capacity
Only a prediction
Can be unreliable
Uses both zones of work
Easy to do with large groups
Gas Analysis
Calculates your exact vo2 max
Very accurate and precise
Expensive
Time consuming
Adaptations
Cardiac
Increase HR,SV,CO
Lower resting heart rate
Respiratory
Capilerisation
Increase surface areas of lungs
Skeletal
Increased bone density
Increased strength of tendons, ligaments and cartilages
Muscular
Type 1 fibres increase
Type 2b fibres turn into 2a
Increased muscle capilaries
Methods of training
Fartlek
Physical training that take place on different terrain at varied paces
Variety so prevents tedium
Good for sports that require changes in pace
Might not work to full potential
Hard to monitor
Altitude
Training performed at high altitude to prepare the body to work with less oxygen
Skill level may actually decrease
Can lower immune system
Increase production of red blood cells
Increases Vo2 max
Continuous
Physical training without rest intervals
Very little equipment
Easy to do
Become tedious
Overload
Interval
Physical training consisting of varied periods of high intensity and low intensity work
Prevents fatigue
Reflect scenario of a games player
Can overload
Work to rest ratio may be wrong
