| Alliance Scholar Lecture: Metabolism of Non-steady State Work and Sport |
| Endurance sports such as running and cycling performed in a steady state condition have been thoroughly investigated over the years largely because they could be studied in the laboratory. However, much of work and sport occurs intermittently under non-steady state metabolic conditions. Only recently has portable equipment assessing oxygen uptake been available to study the metabolism of non-steady state activities performed outside laboratory conditions such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, and the martial arts. The presentation will discuss the insights developed from this recent research that have implications for conditioning, nutritional support, and exercise adherence. |
