The increase in VO₂ max that occurs following 4 months of endurance exercise training results from an increase in both maximal cardiac output and maximal a-vO₂ difference.Relatively short durations of endurance exercise training (e.g. ,1-4 months)increases VO₂ max primarily by increasing A)the maximal a-vO₂ difference. B)the maximal cardiac output. C)the maximal heart rate. D)both B and C are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
