The oxygen uptake response running to exhaustion at peak treadmill speed

Abstract

Although training intensities can be set using a range of parameters (e.g. VO2 max , % VO max, heart rate and lactate concentration) the measurement of these parameters requires time consuming invasive techniques. This paper explored the physiological responses at peak treadmill speed (Vmax) and time to exhaustion (Tmax). The findings of this paper provide an insight into how non-invasive measures can be used to prescribe training intensities without the requiring the athlete being subjected to invasive physiological measurement.
