The purpose of this study was to describe the longitudinal development of running economy [defined as the oxygen uptake (V˙O2) at a submaximal running speed] in males and females from teenage to young adult age using data from the Amsterdam Growth and Health Study. Submaximal V˙O2 (in ml · kg?1· min?1) was measured in 84 males and 98 females while they ran on a treadmill at a constant speed of 8 km · h?1 for 6 min at three different treadmill slopes (0%, 2.5% and 5%). This test was carried out six times, on the same subjects at the ages of 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, and 27 years. The longitudinal development of running economy in males and females was analysed using a two-way analysis of variance for repeated measurements. At all three slopes, a significant decrease in V˙O2 with increasing age was found for both males and females, implying a significant increase in running economy for both sexes. Males showed significantly higher V˙O2 values than females at all ages measured and for all three slopes, suggesting that females have a significantly higher running economy than males. In order to make a better comparison of the V˙O2 of individuals of different sizes, allometric models were used; power function ratios were constructed in which body mass was expressed to an exponential power. Following this analysis the difference in submaximal V˙O2 and running economy between males and females appeared even larger. 相似文献

The gender differences in peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) for various modes of exercise have been examined previously; however, no direct gender comparisons have been made during repetitive lifting (RL). In the present study the V˙O2peak between RL and treadmill running (TR) was compared between 20 men [mean (SD) age, height, body mass and body fat: 21 (3) years, 1.79 (0.06)?m, 81 (9)?kg, 19 (6)%, respectively] and 20 women [mean (SD) age, height, body mass and body fat: 21 (3) years, 1.63 (0.05)?m, 60 (7)?kg, 27 (6)%, respectively]. V˙O2peak (l?·?min?1), defined as the highest value obtained during exercise to volitional fatigue, was determined using discontinuous protocols with treadmill grade or box mass incremented to increase exercise intensity. For RL V˙O2peak, a pneumatically driven shelf was used to lower a loaded box to the floor, and subjects then lifted the box, at a rate of 15 lifts?·?min?1. V˙O2peak (l?·?min?1 and ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1) and minute ventilation (V˙ E, l?·?min?1) were determined using an on-line gas analysis system. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance revealed significant gender effects, with men having higher values for V˙O2peak (l?·?min?1 and ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1) and V˙ E, but women having higher values of the ventilatory equivalent for oxygen (V˙ E/V˙O2). There were also mode of exercise effects, with TR values being higher for V˙O2peak (l?·?min?1 and ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1) and V˙ E and an interaction effect for V˙O2peak {1?·?min?1 and ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1) and V˙ E/V˙O2. The women obtained a greater percentage (≈84%) of their TR V˙O2peak during RL than did the men (≈79%). There was a marginal tendency for women to decrease and men to increase their V˙ E/V˙O2 when comparing TR with RL. The magnitude of the gender differences between the two exercise modalities appeared to be similar for heart rate, V˙ E and R, but differed for V˙O2peak (1?·?min?1 and ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1). Lifting to an absolute height (1.32?m for the RL protocol) may present a different physical challenge to men and women with respect to the degree of involvement of the muscle groups used during lifting and ventilation. 相似文献

Nineteen well-trained cyclists (14 males and 5 females, mean initial V˙O2max 62.3 ml kg–1 min–1) completed a multistage cycle ergometer test to determine maximal mean power output in 4 min (MMPO4min), maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) and maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD). The athletes were divided into three groups, each of which completed 5, 10
or 15 days of both a control condition (C) and live high:train low altitude exposure (LHTL). The C groups lived and trained
at the ambient altitude of 610 m. The LHTL groups spent 8–10 h night–1 in normobaric hypoxia at a simulated altitude of 2,650 m, and trained at the ambient altitude of 610 m. The changes to MMPO4min, V˙O2max and MAOD in response to LHTL altitude exposure were not significantly different for the 5-, 10- and 15-day treatment periods.
For the pooled data from all three treatment periods, there were significant increases in MMPO4min [mean (SD) 5.15 (0.83) W kg–1 vs 5.34 (0.78) W kg–1] and MAOD [50.1 (14.2) ml kg–1 vs 54.9 (13.1) ml kg–1] in the LHTL athletes between pre- and post-altitude exposure. There were no significant changes in MMPO4min [5.09 (0.76) W kg–1 vs 5.16 (0.86) W kg–1] or MAOD [50.5 (14.1) ml kg–1 vs 49.1 (13.0) ml kg–1] in the C athletes over the corresponding period. There were significant increases in V˙O2max in the athletes during both the LHTL [63.2 (9.0) ml kg–1 min–1 vs 64.1 (9.0) ml kg–1 min–1] and C [62.0 (8.6) ml kg–1 min–1 vs 63.4 (9.2) ml kg–1 min–1] conditions. In these athletes, there was no difference in the impact of 5, 10 or 15 days of LHTL on the increases observed
in MMPO4min, V˙O2max or MAOD; and LHTL increased MMPO4min and MAOD more than training at low altitude alone.

This study was performed to clarify the relationship between isocapnic buffering and maximal aerobic capacity (V˙O2 max ) in athletes. A group of 15 trained athletes aged 21.1 (SD 2.6) years was studied. Incremental treadmill exercise was performed using a modified version of Bruce's protocol for determination of the anaerobic threshold (AT) and the respiratory compensation point (RC). Ventilatory and gas exchange responses were measured with an aeromonitor and expressed per unit of body mass. Heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion were recorded continuously during exercise. The mean V˙O2 max , oxygen uptake (V˙O2) at AT and RC were 58.2 (SD 5.8)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1, 28.0 (SD 3.3)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1 and 52.4 (SD 6.7)?ml?· kg?1?·?min?1, respectively. The mean values of AT and RC, expressed as percentages of V˙O2 max , were 48.3 (SD 4.2)% and 90.0 (SD 5.2)%, respectively. The mean range of isocapnic buffering defined as V˙O2 between AT and RC was 24.4 (SD 4.5) ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1, and the mean range of hypocapnic hyperventilation (HHV) defined as V˙O2 between RC and the end of exercise was 5.8 (SD 3.0)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1. The V˙O2 max per unit mass was significantly correlated with AT (r?=?0.683, P?0.01). In addition, V˙O2 max /mass was closely correlated with both the range of isocapnic buffering (r?=?0.803, P?0.001) and RC (r?=?0.878, P?0.001). However, no correlation was found between V˙O2 max per unit mass and the range of HHV (r?=?0.011, NS.). These findings would suggest that the prominence of isocapnic buffering, in addition to the anaerobic threshold, may have been related to V˙O2 max of the athletes. The precise mechanisms underlying this proposed relationship remain to be elucidated. 相似文献

To examine the hypothesis that foot-strike hemolysis alters vascular volumes and selected hematological properties is trained athletes, we have measured total blood volume (TBV), red cell volume (RCV) and plasma volume (PV) in cyclists (n?=?21) and runners (n?=?17) and compared them to those of untrained controls (n?=?20). TBV (ml?·?kg?1) was calculated as the sum of RCV (ml?·?kg?1) and PV (ml?·?kg?1) obtained using 51Cr and 125I-labelled albumin, respectively. Hematological assessment was carried out using a Coulter counter. Peak aerobic power (V˙O2peak) was measured during progressive exercise to fatigue using both cycle and treadmill ergometry. RCV was 15% higher (P?0.05) in male cyclists [35.4 (1.0), mean (SE); n?=?12] and runners [35.3 (0.98); n=9] compared to the controls [30.7 (0.92); n?=?12]. Similar differences existed between the female cyclists [28.2 (2.1); n?=?9] and runners [28.4 (1.0); n?=?8] compared to the untrained controls [24.9 (1.4); n?=?8]. For the male athletes, PV was between 19% (cyclists) and 28% (runners) higher (P?0.05) in the trained athletes compared to the untrained controls. The differences in PV between the female groups were not significant. Although the males had a higher (P?0.05) TBV, RCV and PV than the females, no differences between cyclists and runners were found for either gender. Mean cell volume was not different between the athletic groups. V˙O2peak (ml?· kg?1?·?min?1) was higher (P?0.05) in both male [68.4 (1.5)] and female [54.8 (2.1)] runners when compared to the untrained males [47.1 (1.0) ] and females [40.5 (2.1)]. Although differences existed between the genders in V˙O2peak for both cyclists and runners, no differences were found between the athletic groups within a gender. Since the vascular volumes were not different between cyclists and runners for either the males or females, foot-strike hemolysis would not appear to have an effect on that parameter. The significant correlations (P?0.05) found between V˙O2peak and RCV (r?=?0.64 and 0.64) and TBV (r?=?0.82 and 0.63) for the males and females, respectively, suggests a role for the vascular system in realizing a high aerobic power. 相似文献

Gender differences in lung volumes and flow rates, and in respiratory control have been documented previously. How these gender
differences affect exercise responses in normal subjects is less clear, particularly as many studies involved highly fit subjects.
This study aimed to investigate potential gender differences occurring during progressive exercise in healthy males and females
of average fitness. Fourteen males and ten females of mean (SD) age 23 (0.35) years completed a progressive exercise test to exhaustion
on a cycle ergometer, with a ramp increase of 15 W min−1 (female) or 20 W min−1 (male). All females were studied during the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Cardiorespiratory variables were measured,
breath by breath, and values were compared at rest, at 40 W, at physiologically equivalent workloads below, at and above the
gas exchange threshold and at peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak). Mean V̇O2peak (SEM) was 32.4 (2.01) ml kg−1 min−1 for the females and 41.9 (1.80) ml kg−1 min−1 for the males. Females had a significantly lower end-tidal partial CO2 pressure at rest and throughout exercise. Increases in exercise minute ventilation were achieved by a significantly greater
tidal volume in males, whereas females adopted a significantly greater breathing frequency. Ratings of respiratory discomfort
were significantly greater in the male group at physiologically equivalent workloads compared to the female group. This study
shows gender differences exist in the ventilatory and sensory response to progressive exercise in untrained subjects. Further
work is required to ascertain if these effects are altered during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. 相似文献

The purposes of this study were to determine whether running economy (RE) is adversely affected following intense interval bouts of 10?×?400-m running, and whether there is an interaction effect between RE and recovery duration during the workouts. Twelve highly trained male endurance athletes [maximal oxygen consumption; V˙O2 max =72.5 (4.3) ml·kg?1·min?1; mean (SD)] performed three interval running workouts of 10?×?400 m with a minimum of 4 days between runs. Recovery duration between the repetitions was randomly assigned at 60, 120 or 180 s. The velocity for each 400-m run was determined from a treadmill V˙O2 max test. The average running velocity was 357.9 (9.0) m?·?min?1. Following the workout, the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) increased significantly (P?0.01) as recovery duration between the 400-m repetitions decreased (14.4, 16.1, and 17.7 at 180s, 120s, and 60 s recovery, respectively). Prior to and following each workout, RE was measured at speeds of 200 and 268 m?·?min?1. Changes in RE from pre- to post-workout, as well as heart rate (HR) and respiratory exchange ratio (R) were similar for the three recovery conditions. When averaged across conditions, oxygen consumption (V˙O2) increased significantly (P?0.01) from pre- to post-test (from 38.5 to 40.5?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1 at 200?m?·?min?1, and from 53.1 to 54.5?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1 at 268 m?·?min?1, respectively). HR increased (from 124 to 138, and from 151 to 157 beats?·?min?1 respectively) and R decreased (from 0.90 to 0.78, and from 0.93 to 0.89, respectively) at 200 and 268 m?·?min?1, respectively (P?0.01). This study showed that RE can be perturbed after a high-intensity interval workout and that the changes in V˙O2, HR and R were independent of the recovery duration between the repetitions. 相似文献

The present experiment was designed to study the importance of strength and muscle mass as factors limiting maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2 max ) in wheelchair subjects. Thirteen paraplegic subjects [mean age 29.8 (8.7) years] were studied during continuous incremental exercises until exhaustion on an arm-cranking ergometer (AC), a wheelchair ergometer (WE) and motor-driven treadmill (TM). Lean arm volume (LAV) was estimated using an anthropometric method based upon the measurement of various circumferences of the arm and forearm. Maximal strength (MVF) was measured while pushing on the rim of the wheelchair for three positions of the hand on the rim (?30°, 0° and +30°). The results indicate that paraplegic subjects reached a similar V˙O2 max [1.23 (0.34) l?·?min?1, 1.25 (0.38) l?·?min?1, 1.22?(0.18) l?·?min?1 for AC, TM and WE, respectively] and V˙O2 max /body mass [19.7?(5.2)?ml?·?min?1?·?kg?1, 19.5 (6.14) ml?·?min?1?·?kg?1, 19.18 (4.27) ml?·?min?1?·?kg?1 for AC, TM and WE, respectively on the three ergometers. Maximal heart rate f c max during the last minute of AC (173 (17) beats?·?min?1], TM [168 (14) beats?·?min?1], and WE [165 (16) beats?·?min?1], were correlated, but f c max was significantly higher for AC than for TM (P<0.03). There were significant correlations between MVF and LAV (P<0.001) and between the MVF data obtained at different angles of the hand on the rim [311.9 (90.1) N, 313.2 (81.2) N, 257.1 (71) N, at ?30°, 0° and +30°, respectively]. There was no correlation between V˙O2 max and LAV or MVF. The relatively low values of f c max suggest that V˙O2 max was, at least in part, limited by local aerobic factors instead of central cardiovascular factors. On the other hand, the lack of a significant correlation between V˙O2 max and MVF or muscle mass was not in favour of muscle strength being the main factor limiting V˙O2 max in our subjects. 相似文献

Although critical velocity (CV) provides a valid index of aerobic function, the physiological significance of CV is not known. Twelve individuals performed exhaustive runs at 95% to 110% of the velocity at which V˙O2max was attained in an incremental test. V˙O2max was elicited in each run. Using the time to exhaustion at each velocity, CV was calculated for each participant. Using the time to achieve V˙O2max at each velocity, which was shorter at higher velocities, a parameter we have designated as CV′ was calculated for each participant. During exercise at or below CV′, V˙O2max cannot be elicited. CV (238?±?24?m?·?min?1) and CV′ (239?±?25?m?·?min?1) were equal (t?=?0.60, p?=?0.56) and correlated (r?=?0.97, p?<?0.01). These results demonstrate that CV is the threshold intensity above which exercise of sufficient duration will lead to attainment of V˙O2max. 相似文献

Fifteen young adult Singaporean male physical education students maximum oxygen consumption [(V˙O2max) = 56 (4.7)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1] performed three prolonged runs in a counterbalanced design. The running bouts varied in time (40 vs 60?min) and intensity (70% vs 80% V˙O2 max ). Each prolonged run was separated by 7 days. The running economy (RE) at 10.8 km?·?h?1 during 10-min running bouts was measured before (RE1) and after (RE2) each prolonged run. A control study involved monitoring RE at 10.8 km?·?h?1 before and after 60?min rest. There were no differences between RE1 and RE2 values during the control run. However, there were differences between RE1 and RE2 values when separated by a prolonged run. For example, the mean (SD) changes in oxygen consumption (ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1) values were 38.2 (2.5) versus 40.1 (2.6) (40?min at 80% V˙O2 max ), 38.9 (2.8) versus 41.5 (2.6) (60?min at 70% V˙O2 max ), and 39.0 (3.1) versus 42.7 (2.9) (60?min at 80% V˙O2 max ; P?0.01). The results of this investigation support the hypothesis that RE deteriorates during prolonged running, and that the magnitude of the deterioration in RE increases with both increasing exercise intensity and duration. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity of a perceptually regulated exercise test (PRET) to predict maximal oxygen uptake ( $ \dot{V} $ O2max) following an aerobic exercise-training programme. Sedentary volunteers were assigned to either a training (TG n = 16) or control (CG n = 10) group. The TG performed 30 min of treadmill exercise, regulated at 13 on the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale, 3× per week for 8 weeks. All participants completed a 12-min PRET to predict $ \dot{V} $ O2max followed by a graded exercise test (GXT) to measure $ \dot{V} $ O2max before and after training. The PRET required participants to control the speed and incline on the treadmill to correspond to RPE intensities of 9, 11, 13 and 15. Predictive accuracy of extrapolation end-points RPE19 and RPE20 from a submaximal RPE range of 9–15 was compared. Measured $ \dot{V} $ O2max increased by 17 % (p < 0.05) from baseline to post-intervention in TG. This was reflected by a similar change in $ \dot{V} $ O2max predicted from PRET when extrapolated to RPE 19 (baseline $ \dot{V} $ O2max: 31.3 ± 5.5, 30.3 ± 9.5 mL kg?1 min?1; post-intervention $ \dot{V} $ O2max: 36.7 ± 6.4, 37.4 ± 7.9 mL kg?1 min?1, for measured and predicted values, respectively). There was no change in CG (measured vs. predicted $ \dot{V} $ O2max: 39.3 ± 6.5; 40.3 ± 8.2 and 39.2 ± 7.0; 37.7 ± 6.0 mL kg?1 min?1) at baseline and post-intervention, respectively. The results confirm that PRET is sensitive to increases in $ \dot{V} $ O2max following aerobic training. 相似文献

Resting energy expenditure, peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) and the gas-exchange anaerobic threshold (Than) were measured during incremental arm cranking (15?W?·?min?1) in six able-bodied (AB) and six paraplegic (P) subjects. Only male subjects with traumatic spinal cord injuries in the area of the 10–12th thoracic segment were included in the P group. All AB and P subjects were physically active. Mean (SE) values for age and body mass were 28 (2)?years and 78.9 (3.9)?kg for the AB group and 32 (4)?years and 70.8 (7.9)?kg for the P group (P?>?0.05). Resting energy expenditure values were not found to be significantly different between AB [5.8 (0.2)?kJ?·?min?1] and P [5.1 (0.3)?kJ?·?min?1] subjects. Mean V˙O2peak values were 29.3 (2.4)?ml?· kg?1?· min?1 and 29.6 (2.2)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1 for the AB and P groups, respectively (P?>?0.05). Absolute oxygen uptake values measured at two gas-exchange anaerobic threshold (Than) were not significantly different between the two groups. However, the Than occurred at a significantly higher percentage of V˙O2peak in the P [58.9 (1.7)%] group than in the AB [50.0 (2.8)%] group (P?0.05). Moreover, respiratory exchange ratio (R) values obtained at the Than and at 15, 45, 60, 75 and 90?W of incremental exercise were significantly lower in the P group than in the AB group. Heart rates were significantly elevated at every submaximal work stage (15–120?W) in the P group compared to the AB group (P?0.05). These findings suggest that chronic daily wheelchair activity produces local adaptations in the functional upper-body musculature, which reduce glycogenolysis and increase the rate of lipid utilization (lower R) during arm exercise. These local adaptations may be in part responsible for the significantly higher Than observed for arm exercise in P subjects, even though V˙O2peak values were essentially the same for both groups. 相似文献

A group of 12 healthy non-smoking men [mean age 22.3 (SD 1.1)?years], performed an incremental exercise test. The test started at 30?W, followed by increases in power output (P) of 30?W every 3 min, until exhaustion. Blood samples were taken from an antecubital vein for determination of plasma concentration lactate [La?]pl and acid-base balance variables. Below the lactate threshold (LT) defined in this study as the highest P above which a sustained increase in [La?]pl was observed (at least 0.5 mmol?·?l?1 within 3 min), the pulmonary oxygen uptake (V˙O2) measured breath-by-breath, showed a linear relationship with P. However, at P above LT [in this study 135 (SD 30)?W] there was an additional accumulating increase in V˙O2 above that expected from the increase in P alone. The magnitude of this effect was illustrated by the difference in the final P observed at maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) during the incremental exercise test (P max,obs at V˙O2max) and the expected power output at V˙O2max(P max,exp at V˙O2max) predicted from the linear V˙O2-P relationship derived from the data collected below LT. The P max,obs at V˙O2max amounting to 270 (SD 19)?W was 65.1 (SD 35)?W (19%) lower (P<0.01) than the P max,exp at V˙O2max . The mean value of V˙O2max reached at P max,obs amounted to 3555 (SD 226)?ml?·?min?1 which was 572 (SD 269)?ml?·?min?1 higher (P<0.01) than the V˙O2 expected at this P, calculated from the linear relationship between V˙O2 and P derived from the data collected below LT. This fall in locomotory efficiency expressed by the additional increase in V˙O2, amounting to 572 (SD 269) ml O2?·?min?1, was accompanied by a significant increase in [La?]pl amounting to 7.04 (SD 2.2)?mmol?·?l?1, a significant increase in blood hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]b) to 7.4 (SD 3)?nmol?·?l?1 and a significant fall in blood bicarbonate concentration to 5.78 (SD 1.7)?mmol?·?l?1, in relation to the values measured at the P of the LT. We also correlated the individual values of the additional V˙O2 with the increases (Δ) in variables [La?]pl and Δ[H+]b. The Δ values for [La?]pl and Δ[H+]b were expressed as the differences between values reached at the P max,obs at V˙O2max and the values at LT. No significant correlations between the additional V˙O2 and Δ[La?]pl on [H+]b were found. In conclusion, when performing an incremental exercise test, exceeding P corresponding to LT was accompanied by a significant additional increase in V˙O2 above that expected from the linear relationship between V˙O2 and P occurring at lower P. However, the magnitude of the additional increase in V˙O2 did not correlate with the magnitude of the increases in [La?]pl and [H+]b reached in the final stages of the incremental test. 相似文献

The sample for this study consisted of 25 males and 19 females between the ages of 8·8 and 19·5 years. The subjects were healthy, well nourished and trained swimmers residing in La Paz, Bolivia (mean altitude 3700 m). The purpose of this study was to provide normative values for the work capacity of high-altitude youths. Mean V˙O2max was 46·9 ml/kg/min in males and 39·3 ml/kg/min in females. V˙O2max increased significantly with age in males but not in females. Mean V˙O2max tended to be 10 20% lower in the swimmers than in sea-level athletes. 相似文献

The aims of this study were threefold: (1) to investigate the stroke volume (SV) response of trained older male cyclists [Cyclists: 65 (2.1) years; n?=?10] during incremental cycle ergometry (20 W?·?min?1); (2) to determine the SV dynamics and total peripheral resistance response of untrained, but healthy and active older male controls [Controls: 66 (1.1) years; n?=?10]; (3) to compare the maximum oxygen consumption (˙VO2max) and SV response of trained older male runners [Runners: 65 (3.4) years; n?=?11] with that of age-matched Cyclists. Impedance cardiography was used to assess the response of cardiac output (CO), SV and total peripheral resistance to exercise involving cycle ergometry. The mean ˙VO2max of the trained Cyclists [54 (1.6) ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1] was significantly higher (P?0.05) than that of the Runners [48 (3.9) ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1], whereas both groups possessed a significantly higher ˙VO2max than the Controls [28 (1.3) ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1]. During exercise, at a heart rate of 90 beats?·?min?1, the SV of the Cyclists increased by 41%, that of the Runners increased by 47%, and that of the Controls increased by 31%. However, the Cyclists' and Runners' SV response was significantly greater than that of the Controls. The SV for cyclists and controls peaked at 30% of ˙VO2max. This early increase in SV was a major factor underlying the increase in CO during exercise in both the trained and the untrained subjects. In addition, all three groups showed a significant decrease in total peripheral resistance throughout exercise. The finding that older male runners possessed a large exercise SV and high ˙VO2max suggests that run training results in enhanced cardiovascular performance during cycle ergometry. 相似文献

An accepted measure of anaerobic capacity is the maximal O2 deficit. But it is not feasible to use O2 deficit if ≥10 submaximal runs are needed to extrapolate the O2 demand of high velocity running (Medbø et al. 1988). Recently, an alternative method to determine O2 deficit was proposed (Hill 1996) using only results of supramaximal cycle ergometer tests. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this alternative method with data from treadmill tests. Twenty-six runners ran at 95%, 100%, 105%, and 110% of their velocity at VO2max. Times to exhaustion, velocity, and accumulated oxygen uptake (VO2) from each individual's four tests were fit to the following equation using iterative nonlinear regression: The mean values derived for O2 demand and O2 deficit were 0.198?±?0.031?ml?·?kg?1?·?m?1 and 42?±?22?ml?· kg?1. SEE for the parameters were 0.007?±?0.007?ml?· kg?1?·?m?1 and 8?±?10?ml?·?kg?1, respectively. Mean R2 was 0.998?±?0.003. It was concluded that O2 deficit can be determined from all-out treadmill tests without the need to perform submaximal tests. 相似文献

The purposes of this investigation were to quantify the noise component of child breath-by-breath data, investigate the major determinants of the breath-to-breath noise, and to characterise the noise statistically. Twenty-four healthy children (12 males and 12 females) of mean (SD) age 13.1 (0.3) years completed 25?min of steady-state cycle ergometry at an exercise intensity of 50?W. Ventilatory and gas exchange variables were computed breath-by-breath. The mean (SD) oxygen consumption (V˙O2) ranged from 0.72 (0.16) to 0.92 (0.26) l?·?min?1; mean (SD) carbon dioxide production (V˙CO2) ranged from 0.67 (0.20) l?·?min?1 to 0.85 (0.16) l?·?min?1; and mean (SD) minute ventilation ranged from 17.81 (3.54) l?·?min?1 to 24.97 (5.63) l?·?min?1. The majority of the breath-to-breath noise distributions differed significantly from Gaussian distributions with equivalent mean and SD parameters. The values of the normalised autocorrelation functions indicated a negligible breath-to-breath correlation. Tidal volume accounted for the majority of the V˙O2 (43%) and V˙CO2 (49%) variance. The breath-to-breath noise can be explained in terms of variations in the breathing pattern, although the large noise magnitude, together with the relatively small attainable response amplitudes in children reduces the certainty with which ventilatory and gas exchange kinetics can be measured. 相似文献

Maximal O2 consumption (V˙O2max) is an index of the capacity for work over an 8 h workshift. Running on a treadmill is the most common method of eliciting it, because it is an easy, natural exercise, and also, by engaging large muscle masses, larger values are obtained than by other exercises. It has been claimed, however, that climbing a laddermill elicits a still higher V˙O2max, probably because more muscle mass is apparently engaged (legs + arms) than on the treadmill (legs only). However, no data in support of this claim have been presented. To see if differences exist, we conducted progressive tests to exhaustion on 44 active coal miners, on a laddermill (slant angle 75°, vertical separation of rungs 25?cm) and on a treadmill set at a 5% gradient. The subjects' mean (range) age was 37.4 (31–47) years, height 174.3 (164–187) cm, body mass 82.2 (64–103) kg. Mean (range) V˙O2max on the laddermill was 2.83 (2.31–3.64) l?·?min?1 and 2.98 (2.03–4.22)?l?·?min?1 on the treadmill (P?0.01, Student's paired t-test). Mean (range) of maximal heart rate f cmax (beats?·?min?1) on the laddermill and on the treadmill were 181.0 (161–194) and 181.3 (162–195), respectively (NS). Laddermill:treadmill V˙O2max was negatively related to both treadmill V˙O2max?·?kg body mass?1 (r?=??0.410, P?0.01) and body mass (r?=??0.409, P< 0.01). Laddermill:treadmill f cmax was negatively related to treadmill V˙O2max?·?kg body mass?1 (r?=??0.367, P?0.02) but not to body mass (r?=??0.166, P?=?0.28). Our data would suggest that for fitter subjects (V˙O2max > 2.6?l?·?min or V˙O2max?·?kg body mass?1 > 30?ml?·?min?1?·?kg?1) and/or higher body masses (>70?kg), exercise on the laddermill is not dynamic enough to elicit a V˙O2max as high as on the treadmill. For such subjects, treadmill V˙O2max would overestimate exercise capacity for jobs requiring a fair amount of climbing ladders or ladder-like structures. 相似文献

This study examined the thermoregulatory responses of men (group M) and women (group F) to uncompensable heat stress. In total, 13?M [mean (SD) age 31.8 (4.7) years, mass 82.7 (12.5)?kg, height?1.79?(0.06)?m, surface area to mass ratio 2.46?(0.18)?m2?·?kg?1?·?10?2, Dubois surface area 2.01 (0.16)?m2, %body fatness 14.6 (3.9)%, V˙O2peak 49.0?(4.8)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1] and 17 F [23.2 (4.2) years, 62.4 (7.7)?kg, 1.65 (0.07)?m, 2.71 (0.14)?m2?·?kg?1?·?10?2, 1.68 (0.13)?m2, 20.2 (4.8)%, 43.2 (6.6)?ml?·?kg?1?·?min?1, respectively] performed light intermittent exercise (repeated intervals of 15?min of walking at 4.0?km?·?h?1 followed by 15?min of seated rest) in the heat (40°C, 30% relative humidity) while wearing nuclear, biological, and chemical protective clothing (0.29?m2?·°C · W?1 or 1.88 clo, Woodcock vapour permeability coefficient 0.33?i m). Group F consisted of eight non-users and nine users of oral contraceptives tested during the early follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Heart rates were higher for F throughout the session reaching 166.7 (15.9) beats?·?min?1 at 105?min (n?=?13) compared with 145.1 (14.4)?beats?·?min?1 for M. Sweat rates and evaporation rates from the clothing were lower and average skin temperature ( ) was higher for F. The increase in rectal temperature (T re) was significantly faster for the F, increasing 1.52 (0.29)°C after 105?min compared with an increase of 1.37?(0.29)°C for M. Tolerance times were significantly longer for M [142.9?(24.5)?min] than for F [119.3?(17.3)?min]. Partitional calorimetric estimates of heat storage (S) revealed that although the rate of S was similar between genders [42.1?(6.6) and 46.1?(9.7) W?·?m?2 for F and M, respectively], S expressed per unit of total mass was significantly lower for F [7.76?(1.44)?kJ?·?kg?1] compared with M [9.45?(1.26) kJ?·?kg?1]. When subjects were matched for body fatness (n?=?8?F and 8?M), tolerance times [124.5?(14.7) and 140.3?(27.4)?min for F and M, respectively] and S [8.67?(1.44) and 9.39?(1.05)?kJ?·?kg?1 for F and M, respectively] were not different between the genders. It was concluded that females are at a thermoregulatory disadvantage compared with males when wearing protective clothing and exercising in a hot environment. This disadvantage can be attributed to the lower specific heat of adipose versus non-adipose tissue and a higher percentage body fatness. 相似文献

A recent report indicated that variations in myocardial functional (systolic and diastolic) responses to exercise do not contribute
to inter-individual differences in aerobic fitness (peak VO2) among young males. This study was designed to investigate the same question among adolescent females. Thirteen highly fit
adolescent football (soccer) players (peak VO2 43.5 ± 3.4 ml kg−1 min−1) and nine untrained girls (peak VO2 36.0 ± 5.1 ml kg−1 min−1) matched for age underwent a progressive cycle exercise test to exhaustion. Cardiac variables were measured by standard echocardiographic
techniques. Maximal stroke index was greater in the high-fit group (50 ± 5 vs. 41 ± 4 ml m−2), but no significant group differences were observed in maximal heart rate or arterial venous oxygen difference. Increases
in markers of both systolic (ejection rate, tissue Doppler S′) and diastolic (tissue Doppler E′, mitral E velocity) myocardial functions at rest and during the acute bout of exercise were similar in the two groups. This study suggests
that among healthy adolescent females, like young males, myocardial systolic and diastolic functional capacities do not contribute
to inter-individual variability in physiologic aerobic fitness. 相似文献
