Power Peak

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate four protocols for their effectiveness in eliciting maximal aerobic power (peak VO2) during arm-crank exercise. Comparisons were made 1) between a continuous (CON) and an intermittent (INT) protocol (both employed a crank rate of 50 rpm) and 2) among the CON protocols employing crank rates of 30, 50, or 70 rpm. For the first group of experiments no significant (P greater than 0.05) differences were found between the CON and INT protocols for peak VO2, maximal pulmonary ventilation (VEmax), maximal heart rate (HRmax), or maximal blood lactate (LAmax) responses. For the second group of experiments, the CON-50 was compared with the CON-30 and CON-70 protocols. In comparison to the CON-50, significantly higher peak VO2 (+10%) and VEmax (+14%) responses were elicited by the CON-70 protocol, whereas significantly lower peak VO2 (-11%), VEmax (-23%), HRmax (-8%), and LAmax (-29%) responses were elicited by the CON-30 protocol. Of the arm-crank protocols examined the combination of a continuous design and a crank rate of 70 rpm provided the most effective protocol to elicit peak VO2 values.

Peak Vo2

The purpose of this study was to quantitate the maximal power output (POmax), peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), and maximal heart rate (HRmax) for wheelchair ergometer (WERG) exercise performed by three groups of disabled males: young adult (20-30 yr), middle-aged (50-60 yr), and elderly (80-90 yr). These subjects, who were confined to wheelchairs for similar time periods (mean = 11.7 yr), participated in progressive-intensity discontinuous test protocols on a WERG. Lower (P less than 0.01) mean POmax, peak VO2, and HRmax values were found with advancing age groups. In relationship to age, decreases in POmax and HRmax values were best described by parabolic models, whereas decreases in peak VO2 values were best described by a linear model. In comparison with young adults (83 W, 27 ml . kg-1 . min-1), surprisingly low POmax and peak VO2 values were found for the middle-aged (16 W, 10 ml . kg-1 . min-1) and elderly (7 W, 8 ml . kg-1 . min-1). When our peak VO2 data were combined with other data in the literature for upper body exercise by male disabled individuals, a decrease of 0.19 1 . min-1 or 2.9 ml . kg-1 . min-1 per decade of life was found.

Objective Although carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective treatment for severe carotid stenosis, it has been associated with alterations in autonomic functions long term after the procedure. Patients with CAS have been reported to have autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction. This study aimed to evaluate heart rate recovery (HRR) indices and exercise test parameters after CAS. Methods Patients (10 male, 11 female) suitable for CAS, without a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, severe coronary artery or valvular heart disease, were enrolled in our study. Basal electrocardiography, echocardiography, and treadmill exercise testing were performed in all patients pre- and post-procedure. The HRR index was defined as the reduction in the heart rate from the rate at peak exercise to the rate first minute (HRR1), second minute (HRR2), third minute (HRR3) and fifth minute (HRR5) after the cessation of exercise stress testing. Results The exercise time, maximal heart rate, maximal blood pressure and maximal metabolic equivalents values were significantly decreased after the procedure. The first- and second-minute HRR indices of patients before procedure were significantly lower than after procedure (23.5 ± 6.6 vs 25.8 ± 8.3; p < 0.001 and 41.8 ± 12.3 vs 50.2 ± 16.3; p < 0.001, respectively). Similarly, HRR indices after the third and fifth minutes of the recovery period were significantly lower in patients before procedure, when compared with those indices after procedure (52.9 ± 13.1 vs 60.7 ± 14.4; p < 0.001 and 62.4 ± 12.8 vs 71.9 ± 14.1; p < 0.001). Conclusion We have demonstrated that HRR indices increased in the first, second, third and fifth minutes of the recovery period after maximal exercise testing in patients after the CAS procedure, which may be a reflection of parasympathetic dominance after CAS.

Specific Manner

The purpose of this study was to compare lactate thresholds (LT) and maximal aerobic capacities (VO2 max) during sport-specific skating (on ice) and cycle ergometry (off ice) in collegiate hockey players. We hypothesized that VO2 max and LT would be higher on ice. We also sought to determine if on-ice and off-ice VO2 max values were correlated. Twelve collegiate hockey players performed both graded exercise protocols in randomized order to fatigue. Both protocols included 80 s of work during each stage, followed by 40 s of rest to allow for blood lactate sampling. VO2 max was significantly higher on ice (46.9 ± 1.0 mL·kg–1·min–1) than off ice (43.6 ± 0.9 mL·kg–1·min–1; p < 0.05). Maximal heart rate (HRmax) was also higher on ice (192.2 ± 1.8 beats·min–1) than off ice (186.0 ± 1.5 beats·min–1; p < 0.01). LT was drastically higher on ice than off ice as a percentage of VO2 max (85.9% ± 1.9% vs. 69.7% ± 1.3%; p < 0.01) and HRmax (90.1% ± 1.3% vs. 79.4% ± 1.6%; p < 0.01). Finally, no correlation existed between VO2 max values off ice and on ice (r = –0.002; p = 0.99). Our results indicate that off-ice VO2 max and LT are not adequate predictors of on-ice VO2 max and LT in collegiate hockey players. These findings challenge the use of cycle ergometry to assess aerobic capacity at events such as the National Hockey League Entry Draft combine. We suggest that hockey players be tested in a sport-specific manner, regardless of whether those tests are performed on ice or off ice.

Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing can be considered the gold standard for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. Little is known about the criteria for maximal exercise testing in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and how these criteria behave across different levels of neurological disability. Objective The study objectives were to determine the criteria for maximal exercise testing across various levels of disability and to assess concomitant subgroup differences in measures related to the participant, disease, and function. Design This was a cross-sectional study. Methods Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was conducted with a sample of 56 participants with MS. Analysis of variance was used to assess the criteria in participants with MS and low, mild, and moderate levels of disability. Results Mean peak oxygen consumption (V̇o2peak) was 21.4 (SD=7.1) mL·kg−1·min−1. An oxygen consumption (V̇o2) plateau was seen in 37.5% of participants. A respiratory exchange ratio of 1.10 or greater was achieved by 69.6% of the participants, a maximal heart rate within 90% of their age-predicted maximal heart rate was achieved by 48.2% of the participants, and 23.2% of the participants perceived their exertion to be 18 or greater on the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion (scores of 6–20). The values for achieved heart rate and incidence of a V̇o2 plateau were significantly lower in participants with moderate levels of disability than in those with mild levels of disability. Limitations The primary limitations of this study were its cross-sectional nature and relatively small sample of participants with moderate levels of disability. Conclusion The findings suggest that the outcome of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in people with MS and low to mild levels of disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale scores of ≤4.0) is a valid measure of cardiorespiratory fitness, whereas the outcome in people with moderate levels of disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale scores of &gt;4.0) is most likely symptom limited.
