Figure 3. Relation between oxidative capacities of skeletal muscle and exercise oxygen uptake.

Figure 3

Maximal mitochondrial respiration (max) was significantly correlated with peak oxygen uptake (peak O2) (A, P < 0.01, r = 0.63) and with oxygen uptake at the ventilatory threshold (O2 at VT; B, P < 0.01, r = 0.57) in normal subjects. Symbols indicating data points from individuals in each group: sedentary, ▴; active, ♦; athletic, ▵.
