Summary Introduction

To describe: The graphical changes in oxygen uptake and lactate during an incremental (graded) exercise test.

Introduction: The maximal ability for the heart, lungs, and blood to transport oxygen to other tissues in the body and utilize it to transform energy is called maximal oxygen uptake or VO2 max. An increase in oxygen consumption and uptake usually results in (VO2max).

Summary Introduction

To identify: The lactate threshold and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max).

Graph the change in oxygen uptake during recovery from exercise. Label the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) (i.e., oxygen debt).
Discuss the physiological rationale for the assessment of the lactate threshold in the endurance athlete.
Given that lactate accumulation will adversely affect endurance, what test might be an indicator of maximal sustained running (swimming, cycling) speed?
