At the point of
maximal exertion, these two catecholamines display an exponential increase that strongly correlates with the level of plasma lactate [225].
A level 1 rating is at rest and level 10 is
maximal exertion.
This is not absolute
maximal exertion, but almost
maximal exertion.
If you continue to increase your exercise intensity you will eventually reach a point of
maximal exertion (i.e. you can not work any harder than you already are).
Once
maximal exertion is reached (i.e. the subject can not work any harder) VO2 will, after a slight delay, be observed to plateau.
Not exact matches
Heart rate, blood lactate (BLa), blood lactate threshold,
maximal oxygen consumption (V [Combining Dot Above] O2max), respiratory exchange ratio, rating of perceived
exertion, and time to fatigue were measured.
There was no statistical difference in
maximal heart rate,
maximal rate of perceived
exertion, or baseline treadmill time to exhaustion between the 2 groups.
Once protein has been consumed,
maximal protein synthesis in the body lasts 3 hours following
exertion, with a peak around 45 - 90 minutes.
For a Powerlifter, work capacity is highly specific - there are three major lifts that a Powerlifter will need to perform three times each during a meet (with a total competition period of
exertion in the region of 20 - 30 seconds over a 3 - 4 hour meet), so one could think that work capacity is almost irrelevant - yet to maximize training benefit the ability to repeatedly handle near
maximal weights with good form and recover adequately between work sets may be highly desirable.
Sprint interval training (SIT) is a type of high - intensity interval training that pushes beyond this level to 100 % or more of
maximal aerobic capacity, or an
exertion level of 10.
