Individual Changes in Maximal Oxygen Uptake and Its Determinants

Participants	VO2max (L/min)			COmax (L/min)			AV-DO2max (vol%)
	1966	1996	2006	1966	1996	2006	1966	1996	2006
A	2.5	2.1	2.0	18.2	15.8	18.4	13.8	12.9	10.7
B	4.2	3.7	3.3	22.8	25.0	18.8	18.2	14.6	17.3
C	2.4	2.8	2.1	17.4	16.4	15.5	13.7	16.8	13.7
D	2.6	2.7	2.7	16.0	22.5	22.4	16.5	11.7	11.8
E	4.8	3.5	1.9	25.8	27.0	22.4	18.6	13.0	9.8

Note: VO_2max = maximal oxygen uptake; CO_max = maximal cardiac output; AV-DO_2max = maximal arteriovenous oxygen difference.
