2. ATP-PCr
◦ Maximum effort < 5 seconds
◦ Stair Run test (Margaria)
◦ Sprints or jump tests
Anaerobic Glycolysis
◦ Maximum effort - 30-60 seconds
◦ Cycle test (Wingate)
3. Aerobic Capacity
◦ Max oxygen uptake measured in Liters per minute.
◦ Non-weight bearing sports
Aerobic Power
◦ Max oxygen uptake measured in Milliliters per
kilogram of body weight per minute.
◦ ml/ kg/ min
◦ Weight bearing sports
4. Provide information about the duration of
time one can persist at a given intensity.
Aerobic Threshold – LT1
◦ Long term endurance – over 3 hours
◦ This training zone is called the Easy Training Zone
Performance Threshold – LT2
◦ Events lasting 30 mins – 2 hours
5. LT1 and LT2 require lab measure to determine.
PRE correlates well without lab testing
Athletes focus on sensations of workouts to
estimate intensity.
RPE of 12 close to LT1
RPE < 12 training in the EZ training zone
RPE > 15 – 16 associated with LT2
6. See table 8.1 (page 147)
for comparison between
Borg PRE scale, heart
rates and the Lactate
Thresholds.
