Abstract

This article examines the maximal data of oxygen consumption rate in elite athletes, enabling them to achieve results close to world records. Purpose: Using a model of the "ideal" or "proper" cardiorespiratory system, to describe the oxygen consumption rate in elite athletes. Results: The mechanism for increasing the efficiency of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in accordance with oxygen consumption rate in elite athletes is discussed. Conclusions: The presented model of the "ideal" or "proper" cardiorespiratory system helped to obtain the maximal data of oxygen consumption rate in elite athletes, enabling them to achieve results close to world records.

Key words: athlete’s heart, ventilation-perfusion ratio, respiratory system.
