Document Summary
Knes 303 lecture 6 cardio-respiratory fitness assessment. A parameter is a set of facts or a fixed limit that establishes or limits how something can or must happen or be done. In the context of aerobic function, a parameter is an intrinsic characteristic of the system"s response; it is constant with respect to a specific method of determination. Important to distinguish between parameters and variables- variables are. Increase in absolute terms will be below 147: test duration should be between 8 and 12 minutes = plateau should occur within this range, with too fast protocols muscular fatigue may intervene before vo2max has been attained. Less than 8 minute protocols cause muscle fatigue which would intervene with the occurrence of developing the vo2 response: with too slow protocols fatigue accumulation may impede the true achievement of vo2max. It represents the 1st appreciable increase of lactate concentration ([la- ]) within the blood above baseline levels.
