Lactate threshold – Typical question
Elite performers follow structured training programmes to develop exceptional levels of fitness. Outline the relationship between ‘VO2 max’ and ‘lactate threshold’. (3 marks) Gymnastic events can last up to 90 seconds. Explain how the majority of energy is provided for these events.
