Specificity of training
A specific program of aerobic training will increase VO2 max due to the long term adaptations to aerobic training
-
The more specific the aerobic training to the sport performed and the athlete's needs, the greater the potential improvement in that sport.

Aerobic capacity
Aerobic capacity is the ability to take in, transport and use oxygen to sustain prolonged periods of aerobic/sub-maximal work.
VO2
VO2 max is the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal/ exhaustive work. An ability to work at a high percentage of VO2 max ( below anaerobic threshold) is thought to be a good indicator of aerobic endurance
