Please read both paragraphs and then answer the True/False question below:

True or false? With proper training, people can increase their endurance performance even if their VO_2Max stays the same. 

After a year or so of training, VO, a plateau and does not increase further. But endurance performance can continue to improve because with training it's possible to exercise at a greater percentage of VO, is able to run for an hour at 80% of her VO,may With proper training, she might then be able to run for an hour at 86% of her VO, reaches 2max . Imagine that a runner 2max enabling her to run at a faster speed even though her VO, has 2max not increased. There's no doubt that highly fit people have above-average VO,max values. But VO,max alone is not a good predictor of endurance performance. Also important to performance is the percent- age of VO,may that can be sustained over time, as in the previous example. That level of effort
