The velocity associated with VO2max (vVO2max) can be calculated using five different methods, but significant differences exist between these values. These distinct parameters are influenced by VO2max and running economy, impacting performance predictions in distance running.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • The velocity associated with VO2max (vVO2max) is a key indicator of endurance performance in running.
  • Existing literature presents various definitions and protocols for determining vVO2max, leading to inconsistencies in research.
  • Standardizing the measurement of vVO2max is crucial for accurate performance assessment and training prescription.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the vVO2max values obtained using five distinct definitions from the scientific literature.
  • To analyze the differences and correlations between these various vVO2max calculation methods.
  • To clarify the theoretical underpinnings, including anaerobic contributions, of each vVO2max parameter.

Main Methods:

  • vVO2max was determined in 22 female track athletes using five different definitions.

  • Methods included speed at VO2max attainment, highest 1-minute sustainable speed, and ratios involving VO2max and submaximal running costs.
  • Extrapolation of the submaximal velocity:VO2 relationship was also employed.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences were found among the vVO2max values derived from the five methods (ANOVA, F(4,84) = 7.80, P < 0.001).
    • Correlations between the different vVO2max measures ranged from 0.68 to 1.00, indicating varying degrees of agreement.
    • The study identified five distinct parameters for vVO2max, each influenced by VO2max and running economy.

    Conclusions:

    • The five definitions yield distinct vVO2max parameters, not interchangeable measures.
    • VO2max and the energy cost of running significantly influence the calculated vVO2max values.
    • Three of the five vVO2max parameters theoretically incorporate an anaerobic contribution, while two do not.
