Factors That Contribute to Physical Performance

What the Athlete Gains From Physiological Testing
• Information regarding strengths and weaknesses– Can serve as baseline data to plan training
programs
• Feedback regarding effectiveness of training program
• Understanding about the physiology of exercise
![Page 4: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Effective Physiological Testing
• Relevant to the sport
• Valid and reliable
• Sport-specific
• Repeated at regular intervals
• Carefully controlled procedures
• Interpreted to the coach and athlete

Testing of Maximal Aerobic Power
• VO2max testing
– Should be specific to athlete’s sport– Should use large muscle groups– Optimal test length: 10-12 minutes
• Criteria of VO2max
– Respiratory exchange ratio 1.15
– HR in last stage 10 beats•min-1 of HRmax
– Plateau in VO2 with increasing work rate

Determining VO2max
![Page 7: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Testing Peak VO2 in Paraplegic Athletes
• Paraplegic athletes can be tested using arm exercise– Arm ergometers– Wheelchair ergometers
• Highest VO2 measured during arm exercise is not considered VO2max
– Called “peak VO2”

Laboratory Tests to Predict Endurance Performance
• Lactate threshold– Exercise intensity at which blood lactic acid begins
to systematically increase– Blood samples taken during incremental exercise
![Page 9: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lactate Threshold

Ventilatory Threshold
![Page 11: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Critical power– Speed at which running speed/time curve
reaches plateau
![Page 12: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Critical Power
![Page 13: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Peak running velocity– Highest speed that can be maintained for >5
seconds
![Page 14: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Predicting Performance From Peak Running Velocity
![Page 15: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tests to Determine Running Economy
• Measurement of the oxygen cost of running at various speeds– Greater running economy reflected in lower
oxygen cost
• Higher economy means that less energy is expended to maintain a given speed

Running Economy
![Page 17: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Running Economy and LT Results From Incremental Exercise Test
![Page 18: Work Tests to Evaluate Performance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568137e3550346895d9f8cac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Estimating 10,000m Running Time Using LT and Running Economy
• VO2 at LT
– 40 ml•kg-1•min-1
• VO2 of 40 ml•kg-1•min-1
– equals running speed of 205 m•min-1
• Estimated 10,000m running time
10,000m 205 m•min-1 = 48.78 min

Evaluation of Muscular Strength
• Isometric measurement– Static force of muscle using tensiometer
• Isotonic measurement– Constant tension– 1 RM lift, handgrip/back-lift dynamometer
• Isokinetic measurement– Variable resistance at constant speed
• Variable resistance devices– Variable resistance over range of motion
