Accumulated oxygen deficit and running performance in man
thesis
posted on 2017-10-10, 15:00 authored by Roger RamsbottomUntil recently there has been no generally accepted non-invasive method for
determining energy expenditure during high intensity exercise. However, Medbø
et al. (1988) have suggested that an individual’s total energy (ATP) production from
anaerobic metabolism may be determined by measuring the Accumulated Oxygen
Deficit (AOD; ml O2 equivalents.kg-1 ). In recent studies it has been reported that
there are strong correlations between AOD and anaerobic energy supply
determined from changes in muscle metabolites during small muscle group
(Bangsbo et al., 1990) and whole body cycle ergometer exercise (Medbø and Tabata,
1993; Withers et al., 1991). The purpose of the present thesis was: (i) to extend the
limited information on AOD during running exercise for subjects with differing
training backgrounds and particularly for women for whom no data are available;
(ii) to investigate the relationship between AOD and human performance; and (iii)
as determination of AOD is a time-consuming and costly laboratory procedure to
develop a simple field test which accurately reflects AOD and thus anaerobic energy
supply. [Continues.]
