An Experimental Protocol to Model Recovery of Anaerobic Work Capacity

  • Vijay Sarthy M. Sreedhara,
  • Gregory M. Mocko and
  • Randolph E. Hutchison

Models of fatigue are based on physiological parameters such as Critical Power (CP) and Anaerobic Work Capacity (AWC). CP is a theoretical threshold value that a human can generate for an indefinite amount of time and AWC represents a finite expendab...
