Fig. 2From: Resistance training induced increase in VO2max in young and older subjectsSchematic illustration of the age-related decline in VO2max and the RT-induced increase in VO2max. VO2max may increase following RT when the initial relative VO2max is lower than 25Â ml/kg/min for older subjects and lower than 40Â ml/kg/min for young subjects, which are about 5Â ml/kg/min or more below the average VO2max values of untrained subjects for each age groupBack to article page
