AFL Draft Camp Testing

[Pag]

No one got over 15 IIRC

Which is fair enough . I think the highest score was 14.1 and at the SA based training someone got 14.10.

1 shuttle = ~ 0.3 mls/kg/min VO2. 2.7 mls diffrence between the VO2max in Adelaide v Canberra, could the ~600 m diffence in altitude between Canberra and Adelaide account for this...

discuss....

I think i learnt something at school about this in PE.

this is all to do with the capacity of haemoglobin in the blood to carry ogygen to muscles/organs more efficiently.

the higher the altitude, the harder the haemoglobin has to work to supply oxygen to body parts.

Those acclimatised to higher altitudes have a more efficient haemoglobin in their blood, thus why Kenyans are so damn good at distance running.

Does any of that make sense or somewhat accurate? Did I pass?

About right mate. That's why a lot of professional athletes/sportsmen are trying to use altitude training nowadays.
