Aerobic capacity
  1. Definition
    1. Vo2 max: Highest rate of oxygen attainable during exercise
      1. Aerobic Capacity: Ability to work sub maximally for a long period of time
      2. Affecting Factors
        1. Genetics
          1. Inheriting types of muscle fibres. This affects 60% of AC
          2. Age
            1. Vo2 max declines with age. Aerobic training helps maintain aerobic capacity
            2. Gender
              1. Males have higher Vo2 than females by 15-30%. this is due to having bigger hearts and lungs
              2. Training
                1. Aerobically trained people are likely to have a larger vo2 max.
              3. Testing
                1. PWC 170
                  1. Is a test that predicts an athletes power output at a rate of 170 beats per minutes
