  2. VO2 max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max

    V̇O 2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion. [1] [2] The name is derived from three abbreviations: "V̇" for volume (the dot over the V indicates "per unit of time" in Newton's notation), "O 2" for oxygen, and "max" for maximum and usually normalized per kilogram of ...

  3. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_post-exercise...

    Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, informally called afterburn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity.In historical contexts the term "oxygen debt" was popularized to explain or perhaps attempt to quantify anaerobic energy expenditure, particularly as regards lactic acid/lactate metabolism; [1] in fact, the term "oxygen debt" is still widely ...

  4. vVO2max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVO2max

    In an incremental exercise test, it is the first speed at which any increase in exercise intensity fails to elicit an increase in oxygen consumption. The vV̇O 2 max of world class middle- and long-distance runners may exceed 24 km/h or 2:30/km pace (15 mph or about 4:00/mile), making this speed slightly comparable to 3000 m race pace.

  5. Metabolic equivalent of task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_equivalent_of_task

    The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...

  6. How To Combine Cardio & Strength Training for Faster Weight Loss

    "This type of exercise boosts your metabolism as it puts your body in EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption)—i.e. continuing to burn calories after your workout is over," Garcia tells us.

    "It also triggers the EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) effect, which allows you to continue to burn additional calories after your workout." Endurance training, such as swimming ...

  8. Exercise intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_intensity

    The most precise measure of intensity is oxygen consumption (VO 2). VO 2 represents the overall metabolic challenge that an exercise imposes. There is a direct linear relationship between intensity of aerobic exercise and VO 2. Our maximum intensity is a reflection of our maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2 max). Such a measurement represents a ...

  9. Arteriovenous oxygen difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arteriovenous_oxygen...

    The bulk of the early increase in oxygen consumption after a sudden change in exercise levels results from increased cardiac output. [3] However it has also been found that the increase in the maximal a-vO 2 diff resulting from adaptations to a physical training program can account for most of the difference in VO 2 max in subjects ...
