Discussion 40% Exceptional understanding of the relationship between the ventilatory and lactate thresholds, inclusive of why they may appear at similar workloads during an incremental exercise test. The explanation provided demonstrates exceptional understanding of the metabolic rationale and underlying physiological mechanisms relating to the ventilatory threshold, and that are thought to account for the ventilatory threshold.

Essay - Guidelines
For this assessment, you are required to write a three page* essay that demonstrates your understanding of lactate responses to exercise; demonstrates your understanding of ventilatory responses to exercise; and demonstrates your understanding of integrative physiological responses to exercise (relationship between metabolic and ventilatory aspects).
*page limit does not include references
The aims of this assessment are to:
provide you the opportunity to continue developing fundamental principles used by Exercise Scientists, and to demonstrate what you have learnt.
Demonstrating developed skills in interpreting physiological data and understanding the interactions between different physiological systems (e.g., metabolism and cardiorespiratory).
prepare students for the final exam.
Guidelines
This report needs to be typed using 12-point font in single spacing.
The report should include the following information:
Heading - You should give your report a heading that clearly describes the content of the report.
Write an introduction including a description of concept definitions.
Discussion - Explain the relationship between the ventilatory and lactate thresholds and why they may appear at similar workloads during an incremental test. Be sure to explain the metabolic rational behind the ventilatory threshold including the underlying physiological mechanisms that are thought to account for the ventilation threshold.
Practical applications and conclusion discuss how your findings can be used by athletes, coaches and Sport Scientists.
Consider limitations and underlying assumptions of the methods used for measuring these thresholds.
References - 6 to 8 references in total.
