transient oxygen uptake response as an indicator of sports specific adaptation
abstract
a cross-sectional design examined aerobic power and transient oxygen uptake responses of four male sports groups (cyclists, runners, swimmers, and cross-country skiers). data was collected via three modes of ergometry (treadmill running, cycling, and arm cranking), with the transient oxygen uptake responses being described via the 'half-time'
(t1/2 vo[subscript 2]on) and 'mean response time' (mrt) values. the transient vo[subscript 2]on
responses were quantified via a single exponential process given as
[see document for formula] where a reflects the increment above the
previous (rest or exercise) steady state level, ss represents the steady
state or asymptotic value, td is the time delay parameter, and t is the time constant...
