Aerobic Capacity
Using the latest technology from New Leaf Inc. Principle Centered Health can measure the actual O2 and CO2 in an individual. This measures will indicate how well someone can take in and utilize oxygen for energy. There are 3 areas that can be defined:
1) Aerobic Base
2) Anaerobic Threshold
3) Maximum Aerobic Capacity.
- The point, known as your aerobic base heart rate, is the highest intensity at which your body still uses fat as it's dominant fuel.
- The highest sustainable intensity of exercise, known as your threshold, that your body can sustain and still burn fat efficiently.
- The rate at which your body absorbs oxygen, which your body requires to burn fat.
