The aim of this study was to review the stature, body mass, and maximum oxygen uptake in U17, U20, and first division soccer players in Brazil. The researchers reviewed literature on this particular subject published over a ten year span ranging from 1996 to 2006. Player position was noted along with the mentioned physiological parameters assessed throughout this …show more content…
(2015). Elite female athletes' ventilatory compensation to decreased inspired O 2 during the wingate test. Research Quarterly for Exercise & Sport, 86(2), 182-189. doi:10.1080/02701367.2014.983448
Elite female athletes ages 18.6 +/- 0.5 years of age participated in a study to assess their ventilator compensation when inspired oxygen (O2) is decreased during the Wingate test.
The size of the population were 9 athletes. Using a metabolic cart during the test researchers first had the athletes complete the test without limiting O2 levels. The second test was done and athletes were subjected to limited amounts of inspired O2 (hypoxia) coming through the metabolic cart. In the second test anaerobic capacity was not influenced by the decrease in inspired oxygen, but the fatigue index and peak ventilation were both greater. Ventilation remained elevated throughout entire test that involved hypoxia.
