 Class Overview  Aerobic Fitness  Measuring Aerobic Fitness  Lactate Threshold  VO2 Max  Aerobic Fitness  Humans vs. The animal kingdom Anaerobic  Think-Pair-Share Reflect on the questions, share with a classmate nearby, and then be prepared to discuss with the class  How do you define high and low intensity sport? Give an example of each, and describe how you feel doing low vs high intensity exercise.  Aerobic Fitness  Endurance & Stamina  Abundant fat reserves  adequate energy  Ability to persevere or persist in prolonged endeavors  Early 1900s: 6 Day Races – 635 miles (106 miles/day)  The Badwater 135 Ultramarathon  135 Miles: Death Valley to Mount Whitney  Starts below sea level. Ends at 8300’  Aerobic vs. Anaerobic  Intensity increases from easy to hard you move from: AEROBIC EXERCISE ANAEROBIC EXERCISE (OXYGEN) (NO OXYGEN)  Aerobic vs. Anaerobic  Aerobic Exercise  Anaerobic Exercise  Activities comfortably  Increase Carbon sustained 15 minutes or Dioxide more  Increase Accumulation of Lactic Acid in muscles and blood Aerobic vs. Anaerobic  Measuring Aerobic Fitness  Measuring Aerobic Fitness  Lactate Threshold  VO2 Max  Also known as Maximal Oxygen Intake  Lactate Thresholds  Lactic Acid (Lactate) – An Energy Carrier and Metabolic By-product  Aerobic Exercise is below the point blood lactic acid levels rise  Lactate Threshold Lactate Thresholds Lactate Thresholds  Lactate Thresholds  Easy to Moderate (LT1)  Mostly Fat (Fat>CHO)  Moderate to Moderate Hard (LT2)  Carbohydrates more than Fat (CHO>Fat)  Moderate Hard to Very Hard (VO2 Max)  Mostly Carbohydrates (CHO)  Respiratory Compensation point (Exhaustion  Ease off)  Lactate Thresholds Lactate Threshold Testing - Cycling Lactate Threshold Testing – Liverpool FC Lactate Thresholds Lactate Thresholds Fat>CHO CHO>Fat Mostly CHO VO2 Max 30 mins 5-15 mins -3 hrs 4 hrs+ Aerobic Anaerobic  VO2 Max  Maximal capacity to take in, transport, and use oxygen  Maximal Oxygen Intake Test (VO2 max)  Test Last 8-12 Minutes  Test of Exercise Intensity  Aerobic Capacity – Liters O2 per minute  Aerobic Power – Liters O2 per minute/Weight (kg)  VO2 Max  VO2 Max Test  Normal values – 3 to 4 Liters of Oxygen per minute  Endurance Athletes – 5 to 6 Liters of Oxygen per min VO2 Max
