Abstract

It is well-known that the level of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) is one of the good parameters, which indicate the aerobic athletic performance. Although it is true that the levels of VO2 max in elite athletes are clearly higher than those of non-athletes, some studies show that there is no correlation between the level of VO2 max and performance of distance running in elite runners. Running economy and velocity at VO2 max are other important parameters for endurance capacity. Since the level of VO2 max is influenced by the oxygen transport and utilization capacity, the morphological and functional adaptation of heart and skeletal muscles to various exercise trainings were reviewed in order to discuss the contribution of VO2 max to endurance exercise capacity.
