Limiting factors for maximum oxygen uptake and determinants of endurance performance

Article Abstract:

Results demonstrate that endurance training improves performance by increasing fat oxidation and lowering lactic acid accumulation at a given oxygen partial pressure. Data further show that lactate threshold is the best physiological predictor of endurance.

Physical activity in an old order Amish Communit

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the influence of modern technology on physical activity, the magnitude of decline of physical activity levels and the measures of adiposity in the members of Old Order Amish community. The study revealed the high level of physical activity, which exceeded the minimum recommendations specified in the public health guidelines.

Comparing cycling world hour records, 1967-1996: modeling with empirical data

Article Abstract:

Field crank dynamometer measurements and mathematical models indicate that a cyclist uses over 440 Watts of power in 1 h at the sea level and less riding at altitude. Study also shows that recent rise in the hour record is influenced by aerodynamic advances and higher power outputs of cyclists over the years.
