| The commonly traveled path to improved cardiovascular function and increased muscular endurance is continuous, submaximal, steady state training. |
| Submaximal training at an intensity above the anaerobic threshold. |
| But this particular test measures a different variable – anaerobic threshold – by monitoring respiratory metabolism during a submaximal, but progressive, test. |
| Max can be predicted with reasonable accuracy by measuring heart rate either during or after submaximal exercise. |
| So viewed, perfect power is generically identical with any submaximal degree of power. |
| In vivo, the diaphragm does not perform maximum isometric contractions but shortens against a submaximal load. |
