Abstract:
On the basis of investigation of 54 elite male athletes aged 19-24, specializing in different running distances (100, 800 and 5000 m), the influence of specific character of long-term adaptation in the body of athletes on general level of aerobic power and conditions of maximum manifestation of cardiorespiratory system aerobic capacity was demonstrated. The determine maximum level of aerobic capacity in the athletes, motor tests that take into account the features of maximum aerobic capacity mobilization conditions due to specifics of sports specialization were selected.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
