Anaerobic threshold determination through ventilatory and electromyographics parameters.

The aim of present study was to compare the alterations in electromyography signs with Ventilatory Threshold (VT). Had been part of the study eight men, amateur cyclists and triathletes (25.25 +/- 6.96 years), that they had exercised themselves in a mechanical cicloergometer, a cadence of 80 RPM and with the increased intensity being in 25 W/min until the exhaustion. The VT was determined by a non-linear increase in VE/VO2 without any increase in VE/VCO2 and compared with the intensity corresponding to break point of amplitude EMG sign during the incremental exercise. The EMG--Fatigue Threshold (FT) and Ventilatory Threshold (VT) parameters used were the power, the time, absolute and relative VO2, ventilation (VE), the heart hate (HH) and the subjective perception of the effort. The results had not shown to difference in none of the variable selected for the corresponding intensity to VT and FT--EMG of the muscles lateralis vastus and femoris rectus. The parameters used in the comparison between the electromyographic indicators and ventilatory were the load, the time, absolute VO2 and relative to corporal mass, to ventilation (VE), the heart frequency (HH) and the Subjective Perception of the Effort (SPE).
