- Limitations lie either in the circulation (delivery) or in the muscles (utilization)
- This is NOT maximum work capacity, as this issue deals with factors that result in fatigue.
- Max aerobic power can be reached at low levels of muscle force output.
- Power/Work can be measured in ìrelative termsî. 50% of maxVO2 orî absolute workî /power e.g. 900 Kpm or 3 liters.
- Absolute is the same for all subjects no matter if they are trained, untrained, young, old, female, or male.
- Relative varies considerably as the same % of max aerobic power can represent large differences in work done due to variations in size and state of training.
Nothing mentioned here alters the mathematical relationship between work
and energy.
