VO2 Max

Question 1

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Answer 1

Related to the ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderate to vigorous intensity exercise for prolonged periods of time

Question 2

Maximal Aerobic Capacity

Answer 2

A measure of the greatest rate the body can produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation during prolonged dynamic exercise

Question 3

VO2 Max

Answer 3

Maximum amount of oxygen consumption by the body within a given unit of time (L/min)

Question 4

Oxygen Delivery

Answer 4

Greatest rate at which the cardiovascular system can deliver oxygen enriched blood to the muscles during dynamic exercise

Question 5

Oxygen Utilization

Answer 5

Greatest rate at which the body can produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation

Question 6

Equation for VO2 Max

Answer 6

VO2 Max = Cardiac Output (Q) x Arterial-venous oxygen difference (AVO2)

Question 7

AVO2

Answer 7

Difference in oxygen content of the blood between the arteries and the veins

Question 8

Equation for Cardiac Output

Answer 8

Q = HR x SV

Question 9

Equation for Stroke Volume

Answer 9

SV = End Diastolic Volume (EDV) - End Systolic Volume (ESV)

Question 10

Metabolic Equivalents

Answer 10
