Aerobic Capacity
What is Aerobic Capacity? Aerobic capacity is a measure of oxygen use in the body. It measures the highest amount of oxygen consumed during maximal exercise. This is only measured in large muscle groups such as legs, arms, or the two combined. The body creates energy from fats, carbohydrates, and occasionally proteins. These materials combine to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This molecule is the primary source of energy for the human body. ATP allows muscle contractions and all bodily functions to occur. During aerobic exercise, the body has to create and produce ATP to keep up with the activities demand. As the body trains the aerobic system, it becomes efficient at ....
