Specificity and Test Precision of the Anaerobic Threshold

  • Conference paper
Progress in Ergometry: Quality Control and Test Criteria

Abstract

The reference points of the aerobic-anaerobic transition are currently regarded in performance diagnostics as specific parameters for characterization of endurance capacity as well as for determination of the optimal intensity for extensive and intensive long-distance training. This is the case, although the physiological mutual effects of the determining factors are not adequately clarified, nor is the validity of these parameters histochemically or biochemically confirmed with reference to sports-type specificity, age, or pathological conditions. The models for individual threshold determination which have been worked out in recent years [1, 7,11,12, 15–17] indicate the efforts made to validate the endurance performance capacity.
