The relationship between power output and endurance: a brief review

摘要: It is well established that for work requiring high power output, endurance time short, and low outputs can be maintained long periods. Parameters describing this relationship are important in characterising performance the capacity of humans as a source mechanical power. The purpose paper to provide brief review available literature investigating its parameters. Most experimental data reflect measurements times over range constant on cycle ergometer. Early graphical analyses these have been superseded by curve fitting, which turn has led establishment two component hyperbolic model now embodied critical test. This modified extended various ways account shortcomings. In addition, number different exercise forms studied, effects variety secondary factors (training status, age, sex, example) parameters also investigated.
