a measurement of aerobic capacity- max rate of oxygen consumption per minute
what do individuals work at with aerobic capacity
average: 50-60%
fit: 85%

12 minute cooper run
What affects aerobic capacity?
cardiac hypertrophy
stronger respiratory muscles
capillarisation
% SO fibres
What is Karvonen’s principle?
