After the previous blog posts made it clear that VO2max<\/a> is one of the three main factors of endurance performance<\/a> and then explained what is meant by this term, this post will now show how the maximum oxygen uptake can be increased through training.<\/p> In order to effectively increase this parameter, the training volume, the training ranges and, at the same time, the distribution of these ranges have become decisive.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> With regard to the amount of training, it can be stated that a positive development of VO2max can only be achieved over a longer period of time if the organism regularly experiences appropriate stimuli. The basis is therefore a chronic performance of extensive endurance training. Conversely, it is clear that too low an oxygen metabolic rate is not sufficient to increase VO2max, let alone maintain it.<\/p> The maximum possible training volume is limited somewhere. On the one hand, this is due to physical factors. For example, too high an energy metabolism over a longer period of time leads to the breakdown of protein structures and can result in so-called overtraining. In addition, the passive structures of the musculoskeletal system also reach the limits of their capacity at some point and thus also determine the maximum possible training volume. Overload damage or injuries are often the resulting unpleasant examples if the bow has been stretched too far in this respect. On the other hand, the maximum possible training volume also depends on the athlete’s daily programme.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>Training volume<\/h4>
