What could you do? - With anaerobic training you can improve your speed and strength as well as your VO2max and Lactate Threshold. It is also an effective way to increase your muscle mass and burn calories. Simply put, anaerobic exercise is a powerful way to improve your fitness and performance. Ways to aerobically train consist of running, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. 2. What do you do once you have an estimate for VO 2max ? What do you do with this value? How can you use it? - Direct measurement of oxygen volume during VO2max, is the most precise method for determining cardiorespiratory fitness, which is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. Estimated VO2max can potentially be used to track individual performance outside laboratory settings, driving motivation and helping athletes of all levels keep track of progress as well as adopt individualized training plans based on a person's physiological response to training.

3. Why do you think it is important to have protocols such as the 6MWT? - The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is an assessment that a doctor may use to determine a person’s exercise tolerance. It is a low-risk test that measures how far a person can walk in 6 minutes. It may be useful for measuring the functional ability and fitness of people with certain health conditions. The 6MWT is an easy, simple, safe, and reliable test that scores a person on the distance they can cover in 6 minutes of walking. Not only is the test a way to measure the general health of an individual but can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of the current treatment plan and see whether it is improving a person’s condition....
