Resumen

The maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) has been considered as one of the most adequate measures of anaerobic capacity. It is based on the numerical difference between the total energy demand of a severe exercise bout and the energy portion associated to the total oxygen consumption. However, the debate around the measurement procedures and the validity of the assumptions persist. The present review was done to describe and discuss these measurement procedures, as well as the validity evidences of MAOD. Finally, critical questions about the methodology of measurement of this physiological variable are discussed.
