Introduction of maximal oxgyen consumption (VO2max)

Title:
Introduction of maximal oxgyen consumption (VO2max)
Goals & purposes:
(1). To introduce the concept of VO2max
(2). To explain why basic sports science knowledge is important to not only sports related students, but also to the public.
Summary:
The video will include video, data and sports examples of applying sports science knowledge (i.e. VO2max) in the daily life. Demonstrations of two common tests (VO2max test and Beep test) on examining students’ VO2max will be conducted in the videos as well. Students will be able to understand the exact procedures in a more practical way.

Two videos will be played during the lectures. Reading materials and quizzes on the basic information about VO2max will be conducted, as lectures content is included in the video, related content and additional information in video teaching would promote students’ active learning. Discussion forum will also be included in the platform for further exchange of ideas.
