Can swimming increase your VO2 max more than biking or running? So, if you swam vs. biked or ran - would you end up with a higher VO2 max - we would assume here that time and intensity would be similiar. My question arises because of the hypoxic attributes of swimming in comparison to other sports. |

this is not proven based on solid evidenve. however, me an avid triathlete (primarily running and cycling) swimming is my weaker link. a formula states that to have the same amount of training the following figures come out to be the same. .5 mile swim 3 mile run 5 mile road bike i also found this interesting, it talked about how if you train avidly by swimming and you are a runner, you will become a very good swimmer however, your vo2 max will still lack if you are a runner. this means if you swim constantly for cross training, it wont help you that much if you are a runner. http://home.hia.no/~stephens/vo2sptst.htm |
