From learn to swim to the <strong>Olympic</strong>s.<br />
lactate HR = bbm Capacity Power Rec. hours<br />
VO2 MAX 6 - 10 20 - 10 AEP or ANP 18 - 48<br />
VO2 max = Maximum Oxygen uptake = The highest possible intensity for work in between 2<br />
and 20 minutes.<br />
• This is the intensity zone which many swimmers “use” to compete, especially in the 200, 400, 800<br />
and 1500 meter <strong>events</strong>.<br />
• Not so long ago we (I) thought that VO2 max was reached with lower lactate levels.<br />
• Swimmers need to have high energy levels to be able to perform in this zone during workout, both<br />
in their body as well as in their mind.<br />
• It is clearly the highest demanding work to do / be done.<br />
• You can also call this kind of work Race Pace, it all depends on the set you offer them.<br />
• Again this has to be done with specific work (stroke, FR, duration) because the muscle cell benefits<br />
most.<br />
• Needs a long recovery time and too many too often is the main reason for “over training”.<br />
