Critical power as a measure of physical work capacity and anaerobic threshold

Abstract

Monod and Scherrer (1965) showed that there was a linear relation between the maximal work and the maximal time over which the work was performed until the onset of local muscular exhaustion. This linear relation could be expressed by the equation: W lim =a+bT lim, where maximal work (Wlim) was thought to result from the use of an energy reserve (a) and an energy reconstitution whose maximal rate was (b) We have extended this concept to total body work (bicycle ergometer). Eight male and eight female college students underwent exercise tests at 400, 350, 300,275 and 300,250,200,175 W respectively, to the onset of fatigue. The regression analysis revealed that the linearity of individual plots was found to be 0-982<R 2<0 998 (p<0 01). Experimental results indicated that the maximal energy reconstitution rate (b) was correlated with the onset of anaerobic threshold (AT) as determined by the gas exchange method (r = 0 928, p <0 01). Furthermore, the sum of (a) and (b) (energy reserve and maximal rate of energy reconstitution) was found to be highly correlated with [Vdot]O2 max (r = 0 956, p < 0001) and the regression equation: [Vdot]O2max (1/min) = 0 00795 x [a + b] + 0 114 could be used to predict [Vdot]O2max with a SEE of 0-241/min.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
