- Aerobic Fitness
- Aerobic fitness s the bodies ability to take in oxygen and transport it around the cells
- it is measured through VO2 max - maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken in at any one time by the lungs (ml/kg/min)
- volume of oxygen divided by the weight = vo2 max
- it is transported by the oxygen being breathed in - goes to the trachea - absorbed by capillaries which travels to the lungs then to the heart and around the body back to the heart and then is repeated
- it is used for the oxygen in the cells to be used as respiration to make energy
- Glucose + Oxygen = carbon dioxide + water = energy
