Question 1

Define Lactate threshold?

Answer 1

The first point where lactate levels first start to rise above baseline

Question 2

Define lactate turnpoint?

Answer 2

The second break point - sudden and sustained increase in blood lactate

Question 3

How do we define training zones?

Answer 3

Easy training - anything below lactate threshold
Steady training - between Lactate threshold and lactate turnpoint
Tempo training - One stage after lactate turnpoint
Interval training - Above tempo training, increased HR, Blood lactate and running speed.

Question 4

What is Gross Efficiency (GE)?

Answer 4

GE is a measure of effective work. It’s the amount of work completed relative to the amount of energy expended for each stage of the sub-maximal test.
GE (%) = (work output / energy expended) x 100

=(Watts x 0.01433) / (kcal.LO2 x VO2 l.min-1) x 100

Question 5

How is RER calculated?

Answer 5

RER = VCO2 / VO2

Question 6

How is VCO2 (l/min) calculated?

Answer 6

VCO2 (l/min) = RER x VO2

Question 7

How is %HRmax calculated?

Answer 7

%HRmax = (HR/Age predicted HRmax) x 100

Question 8

How is VO2 (l/min) calculated?

Answer 8

VO2 (l/min) = (VO2(ml/kg/min) xBM /1000

Question 9

How do we calculate training load?

Answer 9

S-RPE x activity time (mins)

Question 10

How do we make a value relative?

Answer 10

Divide by time/duration.

Question 11

How do you calculate the distance required to set up MAS Tabata drill?

Answer 11

Multiply 100% MAS x 1.2 to calculate m.s-1

Multiply m.s-1 x10 = distance

Question 12

How do you calculate Yo-Yo IRS TEST - Maximal Aerobic grid?

Answer 12

Speed at estimates VO2 max \ 3.5 = 100% MAS distance
Multiply by 15 for horizontal sides
Multiply by 0.7 then multiply by 15 for vertical.

Question 13

How do you calculate the supra-maximal eurofit method?

Answer 13

1.2km shuttle run - no conversion required 
1200m/320secs TIME
1.2x3.75
4.5x15s
=67.5m
