Football is the most popular sport in the world with approximately 40 million organised players (and C.I00-I50 million participants in total). .. In football maximum potential needs to be activated in aerobic capacity, anaerobic alactacidpower, aerobic regenerative capacity... repair mechanisms, creativeness, intelligence and personality.

Aerobic exercise inyolyes endurance training. As the body performs activities for extended periods, physiological and cellular adaptations occur (10-12). These adaptations focus on the ability of the body to supply oxygen to the muscle cells, the capacity of the cells to utilize oxygen, and a shift in the fuel source to greater use of fatty acids. The magnitude of these changes defines aerobic capacity and endurance. 

The effects of exercise on the dietary needs for minerals have not been extensively studied. Of particular interest is the impact of exercise on the minerals iron and calcium which are examined in Chapter 7. Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin which is responsible for transport of oxygen within red blood cells in the blood. Thus, iron defioiency (anemia) will decrease oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and hence lower aerobic capacity. This problem appears to be most important for women who frequently have marginal iron intakes ( 5). 

Does Riboflavin Supplementation Improve Aerobic Capacity or Exercise Performance ... 

In our studies of young women whose intakes of riboflavin were at physiological levels, we did not find that the riboflavin intake above the RDA improved maximum aerobic capacity (17).

Severe anemia is indicated by hemoglobin levels under 70 mg Hb/ml whole blood. The anemia is characterized by weakness and shortness of breath, and may not be suspected with a sedentary style of life, A decrease in the Hb concentration has been directly related to decreases in majtimal work capacity, as determined by a standard stairstepping test, and in maximal aerobic capacity. The consequences of anemia are serious among populations that are dependent on physically de-... 

Jensen It is all uniqueness or specificity you haven t got anything else in there that takes care of aerobic capacity, but if you had a few other things that required a lot of aerobic capacity they would form a common factor too. 

Unfortunately, athletes quickly learned to take advantage of other methods to increase aerobic capacity. One way is to inject erythropoietin (EPO) directly.

General endurance of the body as a whole is traditionally considered cardiovascular endurance, or aerobic capacity. Cardiovascular endurance is most frequently viewed in terms ofVo2max- This chapter considers only endurance of neuromuscular systems. Although many central and peripheral anatomic sites and physiologic processes contribute to a loss of endurance, endurance of neuromuscular functional units is also referred to as muscular endurance.
