Discussion Post: Measurement of Metabolism
• Using the internet or other sources, give the VO2max values for two actual athletes of different sports and provide your source(s) of information.
• Some of the highest VO2max values every recorded have been in cross-country skiers. Explain why. (FYI it's not due to training at altitude.)
• In your own words explain what VO2max represents from a PHYSIOLOGICAL perspective. True, it is a measure of aerobic fitness but it's also a measurement of what that's happening inside the body?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
