submaximal

Sperlich et al. in Germany on the other hand found no performance benefits in well-trained endurance athletes performing submaximal (70% VO2max) and maximal tests on a treadmill using control socks, below-the-knee compression socks, compression tights and full body compression suits in regard to oxygen uptake, lactate concentrations, perceived exertion ratings, muscles soreness and time to exhaustion values.

“Steady state submaximal cardiorespiratory exercise in the absence of dietary change does not impact fat loss very much”.

In their case it is the explosive effort involved in propelling their body weight that results in increased muscular development, whereas the long, drawn-out, submaximal effort made by endurance athletes only makes their muscles smaller and leaner.

With some individuals, the submaximal test is continued and they are exercised to maximum.

Conversely in some submaximal tests, no measurements are made other than the time it takes to run a specific distance not recommended for sedentary people.

Repeating the submaximal test after a few weeks is a good way to gauge progress and increased aerobic capacity in those who are exercising on a regular basis.
