Comparison of the oxygen uptake kinetics of club and elite standard rowers

Physiological measures of functional capability (e.g. aerobic power (VO sub(2) peak) and lactate threshold (LT)) relate to rowing performance ability (Ingham et al., 2002: European Journal of Applied Physiology, 88, 243-246). Interest in the VO sub(2) kinetic response at the onset of exercise has in...

Description
Summary:Physiological measures of functional capability (e.g. aerobic power (VO sub(2) peak) and lactate threshold (LT)) relate to rowing performance ability (Ingham et al., 2002: European Journal of Applied Physiology, 88, 243-246). Interest in the VO sub(2) kinetic response at the onset of exercise has increased, particularly the rate of VO sub(2) adjustment and the VO sub(2) slow component, as potential constructs of endurance performance (Jones & Carter, 2000: Sports Medicine, 29, 373-86). It was the aim of this study to investigate the role of VO sub(2) kinetics in rowing by contrasting the VO sub(2) kinetic responses of club and elite standard rowers. It was hypothesized that the elite rowers would show superior kinetic responses.
