Table 2.

Simulated effect of training when only OXPHOS activity is elevated (set A of simulations)

Parameter Untrained Trained
OXPHOS activity, kOX 0.8 1.1 (↑37.5%)
 (in relation to standard)
Variable
 V̇O2max, mM·min−1 10.43 14.61 (↑40.1%)
 AUTcrit, unitless 60.6 82.0 (↑35.3%)
 t0.63, s 29.2 22.8 (↓21.9%)

The change in the parameter value causes changes in variable values. AUTcrit, critical ATP usage activity (corresponding to critical power); kOX, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity; V̇O2max, maximal V̇O2; t0.63, characteristic transition time of the V̇O2 on-kinetics (analogous to τp).
