BACKGROUND: Free weight circuit weight training (CWT) classes are popular group exercise classes designed to improve aerobic capacity, body composition, and muscular strength and endurance. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the training intensity and caloric expenditure associated with free weight CWT. METHODS: Twelve males and eighteen females (age 25.1+/-6.6 years) participated in a Bruce treadmill test to measure VO2max (47.9+/-10.6 ml/kg min). Subjects subsequently performed a learning trial, exercising to a 14 minute video-taped free weight CWT sequence which included squats and upper body exercises performed consecutively. All subjects then completed two randomly assigned video exercise bouts with light resistance (LR = 1.4 kg for males and females) and moderate resistance (MR = 5.9 kg for females and 10.5 kg for males), loads recommended by instructors for sedentary and fit individuals, respectively. RESULTS: Statistical analysis by RM ANOVA (p<0.0036) revealed significant increases in absolute and relative VO2, HR, and energy expenditure at MR as compared to LR for males and females. Mean VO2 and caloric expenditure values at MR were 15.7+/-2.3 ml/kg min and 6.21+/-1.01 kcal/min for males and 13.5+/-1.4 ml/kg min and 4.04+/-1.45 kcal/min for females. Associated HR responses were 129.5+/-18.4 and 119.2+/-19.4 bpm for males and females, respectively. The training stimulus was <32% VO2max, significantly below ACSM recommendations (50% VO2max) for improving cardiovascular fitness; HR criteria (60% HRmax), however were met. Free weight CWT performed with loads < or =10.5 kg may not provide a sufficient cardiovascular training stimulus. CONCLUSIONS: HR should not be used to assess exercise intensity in these classes. 相似文献

To estimate physical training effects quantitatively, the relationship between tissue sensitivity to exogenous insulin (glucose metabolism determined by euglycemic insulin-clamp technique) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was defined in 9 well-trained athletes and 14 untrained subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Tissue sensitivity to exogenous insulin in the athletes was significantly higher than in the controls (P less than 0.001). Seven untrained subjects continued the physical exercise program. After physical training for 1 month, glucose metabolism increased from 40.3 +/- 3.9 mumol/kg/min to 42.2 +/- 4.4 mumol/kg/min (P less than 0.05) and VO2 max also increased significantly (P less than 0.05). During euglycemic hyperinsulinemia, both plasma FFA (P less than 0.001) and glycerol (P less than 0.05) decreased rapidly after physical training. Glucose metabolism directly correlated with VO2 max (P less than 0.001). These results suggest that the euglycemic insulin-clamp technique provides a reliable estimate of training effects, tissue sensitivity to physiologic hyperinsulinemia is 46% higher in trained athletes, and physical training improves insulin sensitivity not only in glucose metabolism but also in lipid metabolism. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to profile the fitness characteristics of competitors in a 6 day sailboard marathon and assess the aerobic demands encountered. Twenty one male sailboarders were assessed for body composition, horizontal shoulder adduction and abduction strength as well as grip strength. Body composition was assessed by skinfold measurement and strength measured by dynamometer. A subgroup of 5 subjects were assessed for VO2 max by indirect calorimetry using a treadmill protocol. Functional capacity was determined as the quotient of VO2 max and the VO2 at rest and the aerobic conditioning threshold estimated. The corresponding threshold heart rate was determined. During each days racing, heart rate was continuously monitored from 2 different members of the subgroup. In the total group body fat was 19.1 +/- 5.1%, grip strength was 502.3 +/- 61.8 N and horizontal shoulder adduction and abduction strength was 449.3 +/- 121.6 N and 437 +/- 94.2 N respectively. In the subgroup, VO2 max was 49.6 +/- 3.7 ml/kg/min, functional capacity was 8.8 +/- 0.9 METS and threshold heart rate occurred between 155 +/- 5.2 and 161 +/- 4.6 beats/min. Heart rate response during sailing was typically in the 120-150 beats/min range. The results indicated that sailboarding does not promote high levels of aerobic fitness. 相似文献

Tested at the beginning and the end of the 6-week training program which all incoming cadets (plebes) undergo upon entering the U.S. Military Academy were 29 males and 26 females (17-21 years old). The aerobic training consisted of running for 30 min 5-6 d/week at varied speeds depending upon performance in an initial 1.5-mile run test. Females responded to training with a significant increase (p is less than 0.001) in VO2 max from 46.0 +/- 1.0 to 49.7 +/- 0.8 ml/kg.min (7.9%). Males did not increase their initial VO2 max (59.4 +/- 1.1 ml/kg.min) significantly. Both groups significantly reduced HRmax and percent body fat. Their initial VO2 max values and activity history accounted for the lack of a significant increase in this highly-fit population of males. Blood lactates were significantly decreased (p is less than 0.05) at the same two submaximal workloads after training. The initial difference in aerobic power between males and females was reduced from 22% to 18%. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Previous studies in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have reported reductions in maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)), yet often the testing procedures have not followed accepted guidelines, and gender data have been pooled. The present study was undertaken to reevaluate exercise capacity in CFS patients by using "gold standard" maximal exercise testing methodology and stratifying results on a gender basis. METHODS: Sixteen male and 17 female CFS patients and their gender-, age-, and mass-matched sedentary controls performed incremental exercise to volitional exhaustion on a stationary cycle ergometer while selected cardiorespiratory and metabolic variables were measured. RESULTS: VO(2max) in male CFS patients was not different from control values (CFS: 40.5 +/- 6.7; controls: 43.3 +/- 8.6; mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and was 96.3 +/- 17.9% of the age-predicted value, indicating no functional aerobic impairment (3.7 +/- 17.9%). In female CFS patients, VO(2max) was lower than control values (CFS: 30.0 +/- 4.7; controls: 34.2 +/- 5.6; mL x kg(-1) x min(-1), P = 0.002), but controls were higher than the age-predicted value (112.6 +/- 15.4%, P = 0.008) whereas the CFS patients were 101.2 +/- 20.4%, indicating no functional aerobic impairment (-1.2 +/- 20.4%). Maximal heart rate (HR(max)) in male CFS patients was lower than their matched controls (CFS: 184 +/- 10; controls: 192 +/- 12; beats x min(-1); P = 0.016) but was 99.1 +/- 5.5% of their age-predicted value. In female CFS patients, HR(max) was not different from controls (CFS: 183 +/- 11; controls: 186 +/- 10; beats x min(-1)) and was 98.9 +/- 5.1% of the age-predicted value. The VO(2) at the lactate threshold (LT) in each gender group, whether expressed in mL x kg(-1) x min(-1) or as a percentage of VO(2max), was not different between CFS patients and controls. CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to most previous reports, the present study found that VO(2max), HR(max), and the LT in CFS patients of both genders were not different from the values expected in healthy sedentary individuals of a similar age. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 12 week program of low impact aerobic dance conditioning on VO2max, submaximal heart rates and body composition of college-aged women. Sixteen women exercised three times per week for approximately 45 minutes per session at 75-85% of their heart rate reserve. VO2max was measured by indirect calorimetry using a treadmill protocol. Submaximal heart rates were measured by electrocardiography, and body fat was assessed by hydrostatic weight. All testing was conducted within one week pre- and posttraining. Training sessions consisted of a 5-10 minute warm up, 30-35 minute low impact aerobic dance segment and a 5 minute cool down. Posttest results revealed a small (7%), but significant increase in VO2max (pre: 38.3 ml/kg/min; post: 41.3 ml/kg/min, X +/- SD, p less than 0.05). Submaximal heart rates at minutes 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 of the graded exercise test decreased significantly. Body fat decreased from 25 +/- 6.8% to 21 +/- 6.3% (p less than 0.01) with no posttraining change in body weight. It was concluded that low impact aerobic dance is as effective as other endurance training regimens in improving cardiovascular fitness and decreasing body fat. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper was to determine whether differences in hemoglobin (Hb) and muscle aerobic capacity exist between African-American (AA) and Caucasian (CA) premenopausal women and to determine whether Hb and aerobic capacity of the muscle are associated with the racial differences in maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max). METHODS: 43 AA and 46 CA sedentary premenopausal women were subjects. Percent body fat was determined by four-compartment model, leg lean tissue by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, VO2max during a graded exercise test, aerobic capacity of the calf muscle by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and serum Hb by the cyanide method. RESULTS: AA women had reduced VO2max (AA 29.3 +/- 3.0 vs CA 33.6 +/- 5.6 mL.kg(-1) bdw(-1).min, P < 0.01), reduced muscle aerobic capacity (AA 24.3 +/- 5.8 vs CA 21.3 +/- 4.8 s, P = 0.01, where lower values indicate higher aerobic capacity), and reduced Hb (AA 11.8 +/- 1.3 vs CA 12.9 +/- 0.8 g.dL(-1), P < 0.01). The racial difference in VO2max persisted whether the values were unadjusted or adjusted for fat-free mass or leg lean tissue. Multiple regression analysis revealed that both Hb and muscle aerobic capacity were related to VO2max after adjusting for each other, race, and either fat-free mass or leg lean tissue. Being AA was associated with reduced VO2max in mL O2.kg leg lean tissue(-1).min(-1) (zero-order simple Pearson-product correlation -0.60, P < 0.01). When multiple regression was used, the correlation between race and VO2max decreased but persisted (-0.40, <0.01) after adjusting for Hb and muscle aerobic capacity. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that differences in Hb and aerobic capacity of muscle are related to reduced VO2max in AA women. However, Hb and aerobic capacity of the muscle can only partially explain the racial differences in VO2max. 相似文献

AIM: Despite the growing popularity in recent years of the elliptical trainer aerobic exercise modality the physiological changes induced following a training program using elliptical trainers remains unknown. The present study investigated the metabolic and cardiorespiratory improvements following a 12-week aerobic training program using elliptical trainer, treadmill or stair-climbing modalities. METHODS: Twenty-two moderately active females (28.6 +/- 5.3 y, 1.65 +/- 0.05 m) were randomly assigned to treadmill running (n=7), elliptical trainer (n=8) or stair-climber (n=7) groups and trained 3 days x week(-1) initially at 70-80% of maximum heart rate (HRmax) for 30 min, progressing to 80-90% HRmax for 40 min. Subjects performed incremental exercise to volitional exhaustion using an electronically loaded cycle ergometer before and upon completion of the program. In addition, subjects performed sub-maximal fixed load tests at 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, using ergometers specific to their exercise group. RESULTS: No significant inter-group differences were recorded for pre-training VO2max or VEmax. Significant (p<0.05) post-training increases in cycling VO2max and VEmax were observed for treadmill (mean +/- SEM, 40.7 +/- 2.2 vs 43.4 +/- 2.6 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1) and 82.9 +/- 5.1 vs 90.2 +/- 6.4 l x min(-1)), elliptical trainer (36.9 +/- 2.5 vs 39.6 +/- 2.4 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1) and 86.8 +/- 2.3 vs 92.5 +/- 4.1 l x min(-1)) and stair-climber (37.4 +/- 2.9 vs 39.2 +/- 3.1 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1) and 95.9 +/- 5.8 vs 97.4 +/- 5.8 l x min(-1)) modalities, however, the increases were not significantly different between groups. For all groups, sub-maximal HR significantly decreased from week 0 to 4, and from week 4 to 8. CONCLUSION: In moderately active females similar physiological improvements were observed using stair-climber, elliptical trainer and treadmill running when training volume and intensity were equivalent. 相似文献

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate gender differences in i) pancreatic insulin secretory (beta-cell sensitivity) and whole body insulin sensitivity responses to an intravenous carbohydrate (CHO) load, and (ii) metabolic responses to exercise after both intravenous and oral CHO loads. METHODS: Seven untrained healthy men and seven age-, body mass-, and VO2max-matched women performed two trials. In one trial they cycled for 60 min at 50% VO2max, starting 60 min after ingestion of a carbohydrate-rich meal (ME trial). In the other trial, subjects were infused with 20% dextrose solution to maintain blood glucose concentration at approximately 8 mmol x L(-1) for 60 min (INF trial), then the infusion rate was maintained constant during the following 60 min while exercising at 50% VO2max. RESULTS: There was no gender effect on beta-cell sensitivity (serum insulin: 161 +/- 37 and 159 +/- 28 pmol x L(-1) for men and women, respectively) and whole body insulin sensitivity (155 +/- 24 and 135 +/- 29 mg x KgFFM(-1) x min(-1) per pmol x L(-1) x 100 for men and women, respectively). This may explain the similarity in glycemic, substrate oxidation and other metabolic responses to exercise after both intravenous and oral CHO loads in men and women. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that moderate exercise performed in the postprandial state presents a similar challenge to the ability of healthy, untrained men and women to perform exercise without a substantial decline in plasma glucose concentration below fasting values. 相似文献

Fourteen untrained females (age 19 +/- 1, range 18-21) were studied to examine the heart rate-VO2 relationship during a single aerobic dance training session. These findings were used to help explain the changes in VO2max resulting from an aerobic dance training program. VO2max and body composition were determined before and after an 8 wk training period. In addition, the heart rate-VO2 responses to an aerobic dance training session were monitored and compared to the heart rate responses of treadmill jogging performed at the same VO2. The aerobic dance session elicited a significantly lower oxygen pulse than did treadmill exercise (7.2 +/- 0.3 vs 8.1 +/- 0.8 ml.beat-1; P less than 0.01). There were no significant changes in percent body fat, whereas VO2max increased by 11% (34.4 +/- 0.9 vs 38.1 +/- 0.8 ml.kg-1.min-1; P less than 0.05). No significant changes in any of the parameters tested were observed in 10 untrained controls. These findings indicate that the heart rate elicited from aerobic dance represents a lower relative exercise intensity (VO2) than that of running. Therefore, the assumption that aerobic dance training produces the same cardiovascular adaptations as running training when performed at the same target rate may be unwarranted. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 20-60 minutes of aerobic exercise three to five days a week at an intensity of 40/50-85% of maximal aerobic power (VO(2)MAX) reserve, expending a total of 700-2000 kcal (2.93-8.36 MJ) a week to improve aerobic power and body composition. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the minimum effective dose of exercise. METHODS: Voluntary, healthy, non-obese, sedentary, postmenopausal women (n = 121), 48-63 years of age, were randomised to four low dose walking groups or a control group; 116 subjects completed the study. The exercise groups walked five days a week for 24 weeks with the following intensity (% of VO(2)MAX) and energy expenditure (kcal/week): group W1, 55%/1500 kcal; group W2, 45%/1500 kcal; group W3, 55%/1000 kcal; group W4, 45%/1000 kcal. VO(2)MAX was measured in a direct maximal treadmill test. Submaximal aerobic fitness was estimated as heart rates at submaximal work levels corresponding to 65% and 75% of the baseline VO(2)MAX. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated and percentage of body fat (F%) estimated from skinfolds. RESULTS: The net change (the differences between changes in each exercise group and the control group) in VO(2)MAX was 2.9 ml/min/kg (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5 to 4.2) in group W1, 2.6 ml/min/kg (95% CI 1.3 to 4.0) in group W2, 2.4 ml/min/kg (95% CI 0.9 to 3.8) in group W3, and 2.2 ml/min/kg (95% CI 0.8 to 3.5) in group W4. The heart rates in standard submaximal work decreased 4 to 8 beats/min in all the groups. There was no change in BMI, but the F% decreased by about 1% unit in all the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Walking (for 24 weeks) at moderate intensity 45% to 55% of VO(2)MAX, with a total weekly energy expenditure of 1000-1500 kcal, improves VO(2)MAX and body composition of previously sedentary, non-obese, postmenopausal women. This dose of exercise apparently approaches the minimum effective dose. 相似文献

The effect of 32 weeks of exercise training, at moderate intensity, on serum lipids, lipoproteins, aerobic power, anaerobic threshold, body composition, and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors was examined in 38 male fire fighters (mean +/- SD 42.7 +/- 6.4 yr). Exercise training included cycling, rowing, walking, jogging, running, and circuit weight training 3 d/wk, 30 min/session at 350 to 450 kcal/session. Fasting blood samples collected pre- and post-training were assayed for triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (CHOL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C). Maximum aerobic power (VO2max) was measured during a treadmill test. Anaerobic threshold (AT) was predicted by observing the onset of a systematic increase in VE/VO2 without a concomitant increase in VE/VCO2. Body composition was determined via underwater weighing and skinfold measurements. There were no significant differences in CHOL, CHOL/HDL-C ratio, or LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. Only the AT, HDL-C, VO2max, and CHD risk levels changed significantly (P less than 0.05). Cholesterol, LDL-C, VLDL-C and triglycerides were linearly related to body fat. Maximal oxygen uptake and HDL-C were inversely related to body fat. It was concluded that moderate exercise intensity can yield a marked increase in AT, VO2max, and HDL-C while not significantly affecting the CHOL level. The findings lend support to the contention that risk reduction for CHD lies on a continuum. 相似文献

The relationships between aerobic fitness, power maintenance and oxygen consumption during intense intermittent exercise 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study examined the relationships between VO2max, power maintenance and oxygen consumption during intense intermittent work. Female recreational soccer players were assigned to either a low aerobic power group (LOW, n = 6, mean (SD) VO2max = 34.4 (2.4) mL.kg(-1)min(-1) or to a moderate aerobic power group (MOD, n = 7, VO2max = 47.6 (3.8) mL.kg(-1).min(-1)). VO2 was measured while subjects performed 10 6-s all-out sprints (30-s passive recovery) on a Monark cycle ergometer. LOW and MOD subjects generated similar peak 6-s power (p = .58) but MOD had a smaller decrement in power (% DO) over the 10 sprints (LOW vs MOD: 18.0 (7.6) vs 8.8 (3.7) % DO, p = .02). The MOD group also consumed significantly more oxygen than LOW in 9 of the 10 sprint-recovery cycles (p < .05). Significant relationships were seen between VO2max and the aerobic response to the sprint-recovery series (r = .78, p =.002) as well as between VO2max and % DO (r = -.65, p = .02), while a non-significant relationship was seen between the oxygen consumed during the sprint-recovery cycles and % DO (r = -.41, p = .16). Thus, VO2max appears to be related to both an increased aerobic contribution to sprint-recovery bouts and the enhanced ability of the MOD group to resist fatigue during intense intermittent exercise. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine physiological strain and muscular performance responses of well trained athletes during two intermittent running exercise protocols at the velocity associated with VO2max. Ten national level middle-distance runners (VO2max 69.4+/-5.1; mean+/-SD) performed in random order two 28 min treadmill running exercises: 14 bouts of 60 s runs with 60 s rest (IR60) and 7 bouts of 120 s runs with 120 s rest between each run (IR120). During IR120 peak oxygen uptake (12%), peak heart rate (3%) and peak blood lactate (79%) were significantly higher than during IR60 (P< 0.001) and almost the same as in the VO2max test. In IR120 the relative aerobic energy release calculated on the basis of the accumulated oxygen deficit during the running bouts was significantly higher than in IR60 (81.5+/-2.7 vs. 70.2+/-2.6%, P<0.001) likewise the sum oxygen consumption during the 14 min running (P< 0.001), while during the 14 min recovery it was as much lower (P < 0.001). There were no changes either during or between the IR60 and IR120 protocols with regard to the muscular performance parameters, stride length or height of maximal vertical jumps. In conclusion, during intermittent running at the velocity associated with VO2max doubling the duration of work and rest bouts from 60 s to 120s increased the physiological strain of well trained athletes to the same level as at exhaustion in the VO2max test but the muscular performance variables were not influenced. 相似文献

A low anaerobic power has been proposed as a factor that may be limiting the achievement of a plateau in VO2 of children who perform maximal aerobic power tests. This study examined the frequency of plateau achievement in pre-pubertal children and compared VO2max, peak (PP) and mean (MP) anaerobic power in subjects who either achieved a plateau (PLAT) or did not (NO PLAT). Eighteen healthy pre-pubertal (Tanner Stage, pubic hair = 1) males (age = 9.1 1.6 yrs, ht = 134.4 +/- 9.7cm, wt = 33.3 +/- 9.2kg, VO2max = 40.0 +/- 6.7 ml x kg(-1) min(-1)) were tested. All subjects completed a 30 sec Wingate Anaerobic Test and a McMaster aerobic protocol to volitional fatigue on a cycle ergometer. Only 33% of the subjects met the PLAT criterion. No differences were found for PP or MP between those who achieved a plateau and those who did not (PLAT: PP= 6.3 +/- 0.8W/kg and MP = 5.2 +/- 0.7W/kg; NO PLAT: PP= 6.3 +/- 1.2 W/kg and MP = 5.2 +/- 1.3 W/kg). We conclude that anaerobic power is not a factor limiting the achievement of a plateau in VO2 of pre-pubertal boys who perform maximal aerobic power tests. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in predicted maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) by the multistage shuttle run test (MSSR) and several physiological parameters in MSSR under normoxia and two hypoxic conditions and the influences of acute hypoxia on these changes in MSSR. METHODS: Experimental design: six college long distance runners (LR), seven college rugby athletes (RG) and eight untrained college males (UM) performed incremental running test on the treadmill and MSSR in 17.5% (HYP(17.5%)) and 15.5% (HYP(15.5%)) of oxygen concentration and normoxia (NOR(20.9%)). Measures: VO(2max) was measured by the treadmill protocol and predicted by MSSR. Maximal heart rate (HR(max)) and maximal blood lactate concentration (BLa(max)) were recorded at the termination of each test. RESULTS: Significant correlation was observed between measured VO2(max) by the treadmill protocol (57.2+/-8.3 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and predicted VO(2max) in NOR(20.9%) (54.6+/-8.0 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) (r=0.80, p<0.05). Also strong correlations in predicted VO(2max) between NOR(20.9%) and HYP(17.5%) (51.1+/-8.0 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) (r=0.90, p<0.05) and between NOR(20.9%) and HYP(15.5%) (48.1+/-7.3 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) (r=0.82, p<0.05) were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that although MSSR underpredicts VO(2max), it is effective to evaluate aerobic power and can detect the influence of oxygen concentration on aerobic power. The specific movement of MSSR may affect the performance of LR but MSSR can describe the influence of hypoxia on the performance of LR compared to normoxia. Thus MSSR can be used to evaluate the influence of hypoxia or altitude on aerobic power as a field test. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study examined how sedentary obese (OB) and normal weight (NW) women respond to exercise training; and if fitness levels of the OB and NW are comparable, in spite of differences in adiposity. METHODS: Sedentary OB (n=46, 48.5+/-1.5 yrs, BMI=35.9+/-0.8; mean+/-SEM) and NW (n=43, 48.3+/-1.7 yrs, BMI=21.7+/-0.2) women participated in a 14-week fitness program. RESULTS: There were no group differences in exercise adherence. No changes for either group were found for body weight or composition. Both groups improved similarly in aerobic fitness (VO2max), muscular strength (grip strength), muscular endurance (modified push-up), and flexibility (sit and reach). However, since norms for fitness are generally expressed relative to body weight (e.g. VO2max, ml x kg(-1) x min(-1); grip strength ratios), the OB women continued to be classified as unfit after exercise training, and categorized below the NW women in spite of having absolute scores for VO2max (OB=2.1+/-0.1, NW=1.8+/-0.1 l x min(-1)) and grip strength (OB=65.1+/-1.5, NW= 58.6+/-1.5 kg) that were higher than the NW women. CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that OB women respond in a similar manner as NW women to exercise; that weight loss is not necessary for improved fitness; and that the OB are not less fit than the NW, but that low fitness scores for the OB are simply a reflection of the absolute scores being deflated because they are proportioned to body weight. 相似文献

The effect of propranolol on cardiac patients undergoing exercise training is reported to increase exercise tolerance and maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) but its effect on anaerobic threshold (AT) is unknown. It was the purpose of this study to determine the role of exercise training with propranolol on AT in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Eight men and one woman with significant (CAD) were selected for this study. Each patient completed a maximum treadmill stress test (MTST) following the Bruce protocol on propranolol 40-160 mg/day as a control study. Cardiorespiratory variables were measured at rest and at each stage of the treadmill test. These patients underwent an exercise training programme for 12-16 weeks on the same dose of propranolol. Training sessions were for a minimum of 30-40 minutes, 3 times a week, with training heart rate of 75%-85% of the pretraining peak heart rate. Training heart rate ranged from 98 to 128 beats/min. They were retested with a MTST after the training programme, on the same dose of propranolol. AT was calculated noninvasively by measuring respiratory variables every 30 seconds in relation to work increment. AT was identified by measuring the time course of VE, VCO2, VE/VO2, etc. in relation to incremental work. The mean values of VO2, O2P and % VO2 max at AT before and after training on propanolol were as follows: VO2 = 1.43 L/min +/- .25 and 1.86 L/min +/- .44, O2P = 14.35 +/- 2.40 and 18.73 +/- 4.00 ml/beat, % of VO2 max = 68.20 +/- 6.31 and 73.59 +/- 5.84. The mean changes of VO2 O2P, and % of VO2 max were + 0.43 L/min +/- 0.20 (P < .003), + 4.38 +/- 2.55 (P < .003) and +/- 5.07% +/- 4.84 (P < .001). After exercise training on propanolol, the mean peak exercise tolerance time and absolute VO2 max increased by 2.8 min (from 9.0 to 11.8 min) (P < .001) and 22.7% (P < .007), respectively. We conclude that the increase in anaerobic threshold in patients with coronary artery disease may be due to improvement in VO2 max, increased stroke volume, and peripheral O2 extraction. 相似文献

AIM: Many sports are played intermittently in bursts of high, moderate, and low intensity activity. The pattern of exercise intensity has been assessed from heart rate (HR) and time motion analysis and few data are available based on assessment of exercise intensity by means of direct measurement of oxygen uptake. The aim of this study was to directly assess oxygen uptake (VO(2)) using a portable metabolic measuring device to describe the aerobic demand and to determine the associated energy expenditure (EE). METHODS: Fourteen recreational racquetball players (3 females and 11 males; mean age, height, and mass of 23.1+/-2.8 years, 178.1+/-7.1 cm, and 81.1+/-19.6 kg, respectively) played for 40 min while wearing a portable metabolic system to assess VO(2) and a Polar watch to measure HR. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) (Borg 6-20 scale) was assessed at 5 min intervals during breaks in play. RESULTS: The mean VO(2), HR, and RPE over 40 min of play were 27.3+/-1.8 mL/kg/min, 155.3+/-2.8 bpm, and 12.9+/-0.6, respectively. The associated EE was a total of 1 844 kj (440 kcal) or 465 kj/min (11.1 kcal/min). These data were examined across 13.3 min time periods of play, in order to determine if they changed during play because of fatigue. VO(2) decreased significantly (P<0.05), while HR increased (P<0.05). RPE rose across periods of play, but not significantly. CONCLUSION: Recreational racquetball appears to elicit a VO(2) that would allow aerobic conditioning in many persons. It does so with an RPE that is nearly 'somewhat hard'. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare the validity of two field tests of aerobic fitness for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in a group of adolescent schoolchildren. Twenty four schoolboys (means age = 15.6 +/- 0.6 yr) and twenty four schoolgirls (means age = 15.4 +/- 0.7 yr) underwent three different tests of aerobic capacity, with one week separating each assessment. The test were: (a) VO2max, using a continuous, progressive treadmill protocol, (b) a physical work capacity test at a heart rate of 170 beats per minute (PWC170), and (c) a 20-metre endurance shuttle run (20-MST), using a modified lapscoring protocol. Heart rates were monitored continuously in all tests. Results (means +/- SD) for boys n = 23) and girls (n = 18) respectively were: VO2max, 53.3 +/- 5.9 and 42.6 +/- 5.8 ml.kg-1.min-1; PWC170, 2.84 +/- 0.47 and 1.86 +/- 0.39 w.kg-1; 20-MST, 81.7 +/- 15.9 and 50.4 +/- 12.5 laps. Linear regression of PWC170 and 20-MST on VO2max scores (n = 41), revealed similarly high powers of prediction for both field tests (PWC170 vs VO2max, r = 0.84; 20-MST vs VO2max, r = 0.87), with an indication that the shuttle run test may be preferable for use with girls. In conclusion, the PWC170 and 20-MST field tests both appear to be valid predictors of VO2max in adolescent schoolchildren. However constraints of time and tester expertise favour the 20-MST for the assessment of aerobic capacity in the field. 相似文献
