    The long-term ventilatory threshold, not VO2 max, best predicts maximal endurance performance in healthy males. This finding highlights the importance of sustained exercise physiology markers for athletic capacity.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Sports Science
    • Human Performance

    Background:

    • Defining exercise thresholds is crucial for understanding endurance.
    • Previous research has explored the relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2), pulmonary ventilation (VE), and maximal endurance.
    • Differentiating between short-term and long-term exercise thresholds is important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between maximal endurance performance and ventilatory thresholds (short-term and long-term).
    • To determine which physiological variable, including VO2 max, best predicts maximal endurance performance.
    • To compare the predictive power of different exercise thresholds on endurance capacity.

    Main Methods:

    • Eleven healthy males performed treadmill runs at 90% and 70% of their VO2 max to determine maximal endurance time.

  • Ventilatory thresholds for short-term and long-term exercise were measured.
  • Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to identify the best predictor of maximal endurance performance.

    • Main Results:

    • Maximal endurance performance showed significant correlations with both the long-term ventilatory threshold and VO2 max.
    • Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified the long-term ventilatory threshold as the strongest predictor of maximal endurance performance.
    • Combining variables did not improve the predictive accuracy for maximal endurance performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The ventilatory threshold for long-term exercise is a superior predictor of maximal endurance performance compared to VO2 max or the short-term ventilatory threshold.
    • Understanding sustained physiological responses is key to assessing endurance capacity.
    • This study provides valuable insights for training and performance optimization in athletes.
