Here you will find information in connection with your results from health test.
Endurance is the muscle's ability to perform work over a certain time, and oxygen supply to your muscles is the main factor that determines your endurance. This is because the muscles burns energy in the form of carbohydrates and fats, using oxygen. So the whole purpose of endurance training is to increase the size and elasticity of the heart and blood vessels, which in turn increases oxygenation to the muscles.By conducting an endurance test on the treadmill, you can find your maximum oxygen uptake in addition to your biological age. These are figures that together says something about how good of shape you are in and how good your health is. The test is conducted by training four times four intervals uphill on the treadmill. Whether you walk or run is not important, but you must have 85 to 95 percent of maximum heart rate at the end of each interval to get the right result. By filling in speed and incline in an O2 calculator, one can calculate the maximal oxygen uptake, also referred to as engine size and biological age.
When it comes to strength, it is the muscle's ability to develop power that defines this, and there are two main mechanisms that determine the development of muscular strength; development of muscle size and nervous system.Test of strength in the legs is done by testing the maximum force; how much weight you can squat or leg press in one repetition. Over 90 percent of all movements we make during one day puts weight on the legs, and therefore this is an important parameter for measuring health.
Your oxygen uptake says something about your physical shape; your condition. It is limited by how much blood, that carries oxygen, which can be pumped in every heartbeat. An average 20-year-old mans heart has an pumping capacity of approximately 20 liters per minute. An athlete's capacity however, is twice, which equals four kitchens taps on full opening.
Your biological age gives an indication of how good your health is. There is not identified any health benefit beyond being 20 years old, so an average twenty-year-old who has a maximum oxygen uptake of 50 ml / kg x min as a man and 40 mL / kg x min as a woman, and those who are more fit, have the same risk considering inactivity related diseases. In other words; Marit Bjørgen, a relatively well trained twenty-year-old and a well-trained forty-year-old are all twenty years old, in biological age.From you are 20 years old your average capacity is reduced by one percent per year, but it is also possible to stay 20 years old to you are eighty. Reference is to the average population, which is not particularly good. An average twenty-yer-old, however, is particularly good, and there is where the goal of the training should be.
