VO2 max and functional capacities of physiological systems

In what specific ways would VO2 Max provide important insights about the functional capacities of diverse physiological systems?

Pressure overload on myocardial tissues

In what way might cardiac hypertrophy with pressure overload (e.g. hypertension) affect oxygenation of myocardial tissues?

Effect of exercise on elite runner

If elite runners run at an exercise intensity that does not cause appreciable accumulation of blood lactate, why do some of these athletes appear disoriented and fatigued and forced to slow down toward the end of the race?

Pulmonary ventilation and exercise

How can I justify that pulmonary ventilation does not limit aerobic exercise performance for most healthy people? Followed by a counter argument for the existence of pulmonary ventilation limitations.

Rate pressure product and a patient with angina

Why would a training induced increase in rate pressure product before a person experiences angina during exercise imply enhanced myocardial oxygenation?

Anaerobic energy metabolism

At what exercise level does the body switch to anaerobic energy metabolism?

O2 & CO2 and anaeorbic threshold

What biochemical rationale exists for measuring oxygen consumption, ventilation and carbon dioxide production to infer onset of anaerobic threshold during exerise?

Cardiac rehab exercise prescription

What would be objective indications of CHD during a graded exercise test and how the results of this test be utilized in a cardiac rehab exercise prescription?

Limit of VO2 max and muscle mass

What would be a physiologic rationale to support or refute the contention that either (1) central circulatory factors or (2) peripheral factors residing within the active muscle mass limit VO2 max?

Exercise physiology - Mechanical Efficiency during running

Could someone please discuss the practical implications for testing and knowing that someone has significantly lower economy of movement (mechanical efficiency) during running than they should? [This is the second time I have posted this problem because I did not understand the first response which stated ATP. But what does i ...continues
