Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to validate an alternative measure of anaerobic contribution, called AOD_alt, against the traditional method, Accumulated Oxygen Deficit (AOD).
- In two experiments, participants performed intense cycling exercises in both normal (normoxia) and low oxygen (hypoxia) conditions while physiological responses were measured.
- Results showed that AOD_alt was correlated with AOD in most conditions, confirming AOD_alt as a valid measure of anaerobic capacity, especially during severe exercise and in hypoxic environments.
Often, the glycolytic contribution in a bout of heavy or severe intensity exercise is estimated by multiplying the increase in blood lactate concentration above resting levels that is engendered by the exercise (in mM) by 3.3 (or 3) mL·kg per mM. Our purpose was to verify the value of this conversion factor, using methods that were completely different from those of the original studies.
