The anaerobic threshold: 50+ years of controversy
The anaerobic threshold (AT) remains a widely recognized, and contentious, concept in
exercise physiology and medicine. As conceived by Karlman Wasserman, the AT coalesced …

Measurement of the maximum oxygen uptake V̇o2max: V̇o2peak is no longer acceptable
The maximum rate of O2 uptake (ie, V̇o2max), as measured during large muscle mass
exercise such as cycling or running, is widely considered to be the gold standard …

[HTML][HTML] Critical power: an important fatigue threshold in exercise physiology
The hyperbolic form of the power-duration relationship is rigorous and highly conserved
across species, forms of exercise and individual muscles/muscle groups. For modalities …

Warm-up strategies for sport and exercise: mechanisms and applications
It is widely accepted that warming-up prior to exercise is vital for the attainment of optimum
performance. Both passive and active warm-up can evoke temperature, metabolic, neural …

Near-infrared spectroscopy and skeletal muscle oxidative function in vivo in health and disease: a review from an exercise physiology perspective
B Grassi, V Quaresima - Journal of biomedical optics, 2016 - spiedigitallibrary.org
In most daily activities related to work or leisure, the energy for muscle work substantially
comes from oxidative metabolism. Functional limitations or impairments of this metabolism …

Identification of non-invasive exercise thresholds: methods, strategies, and an online app
During incremental exercise, two thresholds may be identified from standard gas exchange
and ventilatory measurements. The first signifies the onset of blood lactate accumulation (the …

Power–duration relationship: Physiology, fatigue, and the limits of human performance
The duration that exercise can be maintained decreases as the power requirements
increase. In this review, we describe the power–duration (PD) relationship across the full …

Skeletal muscle fatigue and decreased efficiency: two sides of the same coin?
During high-intensity submaximal exercise, muscle fatigue and decreased efficiency are
intertwined closely, and each contributes to exercise intolerance. Fatigue and muscle …
