Abstract
Relationship between maximal oxygen deficit and VO2max in supramaximal running — The maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (DO2max, ml O2/kg) has been measured in 43 healthy male subjects with different VO2max (45–70 ml O2/kg min) during the course of supramaximal runs performed until volitional exhaustion on an inclined treadmill. It was found that DO2max and VO2max were linearly related : DO2max = 39.7 + 0.31 VO2max (r = 0.701; P<0.001). Mean accumulated DO2max (58 ml O2/kg) corresponds to an amount of energy equal to 1212 J/kg.
