ABSTRACT:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extensive endurance training (15-25 h per week) on the development of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in boys from puberty. Maximal oxygen uptake was measured a number of times each year from the age of puberty and for the next 6-9 years in seven young male elite cross-country skiers. Mean VO2max was measured as 76.3 and 80.1 ml kg-1min-1 at the ages of 14 and 15 years respectively. Despite the fast rate of growth during puberty, maximal aerobic power showed seasonal variations from the age of 14, reaching a plateau at the age of 15, whereas VO2max (mlkg-2/3 min-1) increased continuously. It is concluded that, during puberty, boys probably attain significant increases in VO2max when appropriate amounts of endurance training are undertaken.
