title: [Anaerobic capacity--theoretical basis and methods for practical testing].
abstract: The ATP turnover rate is raised during highly intensive exercise. Part of the ATP used is regenerated anaerobically independently of oxygen consumption. Lactate production accounts for 75% of the anaerobic ATP production, while breakdown of phosphocreatine accounts for the remaining 25%. Anaerobic processes can provide energy for about one minute's exercise during exhausting exercise lasting several minutes. An athlete may improve his anaerobic capacity by 10% during two months of proper training, and the measured improvement is of significance for athletes. The accumulated oxygen deficit has been introduced to quantify the anaerobic release of energy during exercise. The method is discussed briefly.
