Yes, it very much does. People with asthma will have their baseline VO2 max on the lower side, and increasing VO2 max is very tough task for them. Because whenever they participate in exercises needed for improving VO2, it will cause symptoms of asthma and problems associated with it. Such people should try cross training. read more
Asthma, which is a respiratory condition does not necessarily decrease the athletes VO2 max, but it can severely inhibit the intake of oxygen, particularly during stressful activities. In doing so, Asthma can also limit the amount of oxygen in the blood. read more
Vo2 max during bicycle exercise averaged 3.16 l/min and no significant difference was disclosed between the beta 2-stimulation and the control situations. The coefficient of variation of a single Vo2 max measurement was 4.7%. The maximal treadmill running revealed a significantly higher Vo2 max (3.42 l/min, P less than 0.05) than during bicycling; no EIA was provoked in any of the experiments. read more
