Regulating effect of carbon dioxide on the oxygen consumption in athletes developing endurance in the light of mathematical analysis of the energy production of aerobic oxidation

Abstract

The article presents the material substantiation of the regulatory effect of carbon dioxide on the maximum oxygen consumption in athletes developing endurance.The conclusion of the energy calculation formula by the values of the volumes of oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide emitted is given. Objective: on the basis of mathematical analysis and review of literature data to show the importance of the state of functional systems responsible for the removal of carbon dioxide and the need to educate athletes tolerance to hypercapnia, as one of the components in the development of endurance and physical performance. Materials and methods: the analysis is based on the literature data on sports medicine and the formula for calculating aerobic performance derived by the author. Results: the regulatory role of carbon dioxide in oxygen consumption and its importance in the synthesis of aerobic oxidation energy is shown,the article presents the material on the advantage of low-carbohydrate diets over the classic ones in the conditions of aerobic regime of physical activity. Conclusions: the role of systems responsible for the removal of carbon dioxide in the education of endurance and performance in athletes is shown, recommendations are given in the correction of nutrition and training methods for athletes developing endurance.
