Effects of incremental load training on exercise capacity

Objective: To study the effects of incremental load training on exercise capacity by establishing exercise fatigue model.Methods: The maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max)and physical working capacity(PWC170)were measured at five-week incremental exercise training protocol.Results: With exercise loads increasing,compared to preexercise,maximal oxygen uptake of exercise group elevated(P<0.05),while control group had no change(P>0.05).PWC170 increased week by week.Conclusions: During five-week incremental load training,exercise capacity is raised as a result of adaptability.
