Identify other terms used to refer to Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max)

• Maximal Blood Volume Transport

• Maximal Aerobic Power

• Peak Aerobic Power

• Maximal Blood Delivery

Identify which type of VO2 Max takes into account an athletes body mass

• Absolute VO2 Max

• Relative VO2 Max

Absolute VO2 Max is good to use with weight-bearing activities such as running

• True

• False

Identify when we should use relative VO2 Max

• During Weight Bearing Activities

• During Non-Weight Bearing Activities

• Comparing cyclists of the same size and gender

• Comparing athletes of a different size or sport

With a higher VO2 Max a person can exercise:

• At a higher intensity for a shorter period of time

• At a lower intensity for a longer period of time

• At a higher intensity for a longer period of time

• At a lower intensity for a shorter period of time

Aerobic training is likely to cause a greater increase in VO2 Max in those who are more trained

• True

• False

Anaerobic non-interval training is likely to have little effect on VO2 Max

• True

• False
