[Rower with Danish record in maximal oxygen uptake].

ABSTRACT

During 6 min. all-out ergometer rowing (average power 553 W) a maximum O2 uptake (VO2-max) of 6,93 l/min. was measured in a rower (age 25 years, weight 97 kg, height 193 cm), who won a silver medal at the World championships. The VO2-max value is the highest measured by Team Denmark and is close to the upper human limit, which is underlined in this case report.
