ABSTRACT Introduction: Maximum oxygen uptake is an effective indicator of the level of human cardiopulmonary function and aerobic work capacity. Observing the effects of aerobic training and formulating scientific training plans are of considerable value. Objective: To observe the effect of physical exercise on the human body's maximum oxygen uptake and arterial blood ketone body ratio. Methods: Before and after 4 weeks of physical exercise, the maximum oxygen uptake, blood lactic acid and heart rate changes, and ketone body content in the incremental load exercise experiment was measured in the human body. Results: The subjects’ maximum oxygen uptake, maximum exercise load, heart rate, and blood lactic acid levels increased significantly after physical exercise. Conclusion: The human body's maximum oxygen uptake is enhanced under sports. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Aerobic exercise can improve the physical function of athletes and increase the oxygen content in skeletal muscles. This has a significant reference value for evaluating training effects and judging sports fatigue. Objective: Maximum oxygen uptake is one of the most critical indicators of aerobic work capacity. The thesis analyzes the medical promotion effect of physical exercise on the oxygen content of skeletal muscle. Methods: The thesis performed aerobic exercises on two groups of young rowers. Athletes in group A performed high-load exercise, and athletes in group B performed low-load exercise. At the same time, we placed a detector on the athletes’ skeletal muscle to test the volunteer's muscle oxygen content and other physiological indicators. Results: Comparing high-load exercise and low-load exercise, the maximum oxygen uptake and the utilization rate of the maximum oxygen uptake when reaching the anaerobic net were 10% and 16% higher, respectively. There was no difference in the activity of muscle enzymes between the two groups. Conclusions: After aerobic training, the muscle's oxygen utilization capacity is strengthened. Physical exercise promotes the maximum oxygen uptake of skeletal muscles. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

Coca chewing for exercise: hormonal and metabolic responses of nonhabitual chewers. J. Appl. Physiol. 81(5): 1901–1907, 1996.—To determine the effects of acute coca use on the hormonal and metabolic responses to exercise, 12 healthy nonhabitual coca users were submitted twice to steady-state exercise (∼75% maximal O2 uptake). On one occasion, they were asked to chew 15 g of coca leaves 1 h before exercise, whereas on the other occasion, exercise was performed after 1 h of chewing a sugar-free chewing gum. Plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin, glucagon, and metabolites (glucose, lactate, glycerol, and free fatty acids) were determined at rest before and after coca chewing and during the 5th, 15th, 30th, and 60th min of exercise. Simultaneously to these determinations, cardiorespiratory variables (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, oxygen uptake, and respiratory gas exchange ratio) were also measured. At rest, coca chewing had no effect on plasma hormonal and metabolic levels except for a significantly reduced insulin concentration. During exercise, the oxygen uptake, heart rate, and respiratory gas exchange ratio were significantly increased in the coca-chewing trial compared with the control (gum-chewing) test. The exercise-induced drop in plasma glucose and insulin was prevented by prior coca chewing. These results contrast with previous data obtained in chronic coca users who display during prolonged submaximal exercise an exaggerated plasma sympathetic response, an enhanced availability and utilization of fat (R. Favier, E. Caceres, H. Koubi, B. Sempore, M. Sauvain, and H. Spielvogel. J. Appl. Physiol. 80: 650–655, 1996). We conclude that, whereas coca chewing might affect glucose homeostasis during exercise, none of the physiological data provided by this study would suggest that acute coca chewing in nonhabitual users could enhance tolerance to exercise.

Maximal oxygen uptake and related respiratory and circulatory functions were measured in sedentary and well-trained middle-aged men. Maximal oxygen uptakes averaged 2.63 liter/min in sedentary men and 3.36 liter/min in well-trained men, the latter value being essentially the same as found in young untrained students. The heart rate/ oxygen uptake relationship was found to be the same for sedentary-living men, regardless of age, but maximal heart rate was lower in older men. The maximal heart rate is probably the same in well-trained as in sedentary middle-aged men, this in contrast to what has been observed in younger age groups, where training reduces maximal heart rate. The exercise-induced hyperventilation takes place at an oxygen uptake corresponding to 70–80% of the capacity, this being the same in trained and untrained, and essentially the same as found in young adult subjects. maximal O2 uptake Submitted on March 23, 1964

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of fitness level and gradually increased amounts of exercise on individuals' ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). 20 men served as paid subjects. They were divided into groups of high (>56 ml/kg/min.) and low fitness (<46 ml/kg/min.) according to their maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Participants were required to pedal on a cycle ergometer at a progressively increased workload (every 10 min.) corresponding to 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80% of individual VO2 max values. Heart rates, RPE, and core temperatures were recorded every 5th minute after the initiation of exercising at a specific workload. Analysis indicated that, when controlling for VO2 max values, elevations of heart rate and core temperature were not affected by fitness. However, highly fit individuals perceived themselves under less exertion than did the group low in fitness. Correlations showed that, taking into consideration fitness, there is a stronger relationship between RPE and heart rate and RPE and core temperature for the highly fit individuals than for the less fit.

Cardiac output changes were induced by step changes of heart rate (HR) in six patients with cardiac pacemakers during monitoring of ventilation and gas exchange, breath-by-breath. Mean low HR was 48 beats/min; mean high HR was 82 beats/min. The change of oxygen uptake immediately after the HR change was used as an index of altered cardiac output. After HR increase, oxygen uptake (V02) rose by 34 +/- 20% (SD), and after HR decrease, Vo2 fell by 24 +/- 11%. There was no change in arterial blood pressure. After HR increase, ventilation increased, after a mean delay of 19 +/- 4 s; after HR reduction, ventilation fell, after a mean delay of 29 +/- 7 s. In the period between HR increase and the resulting increase in ventilation, end-tidal PCO2 (PETCO2) rose by 2.6 +/- 2.0 Torr, and in the period between HR decreases and the fall in ventilation, PETCO2 dropped by 2.9 +/- 2.2 Torr. The response time and end-tidal gas tension changes implicate the chemoreceptors in the reflex correction of blood gas disturbances that may result from imbalances between cardiac output and ventilation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate cardiovascular [heart rate (HR), blood pressures, rate-pressure product (RPP)], physiological (oxygen uptake), and metabolic (blood plasma lactic acid concentration) responses during symptom-limited graded exercise testing (SL-GXT) during early morning and late afternoon hours in an unmedicated, regularly exercising, coronary artery disease population. Subjects, males ages 41–71 yr (n = 11), underwent SL-GXT via cycle ergometry at 8:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. HR, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and RPP were evaluated at rest and at submaximal and peak work. Oxygen uptake and rate of perceived exertion were also determined at submaximal and peak power output, with blood plasma lactic acid concentration measured at peak work. Data, analyzed by the paired t test, failed to demonstrate any significant variation in HR, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, RPP, or blood plasma lactic acid responses during exercise at the two points used. Oxygen uptake did not significantly change at any submaximal intensity. Thus SL-GXT results obtained at early morning (8:30 A.M.) and late afternoon (4:30 P.M.) are a reproducible, reliable means of prescribing exercise HR and work intensities.

Clearance of inulin (CIn) and para-aminohippuric acid (CPAH), cardiac output, oxygen uptake, and arterial blood pressure were measured in 15 healthy male subjects at rest and during supine exercise of 45 min duration on a bicycle ergometer. Work loads between 150 and 900 kpm/min were chosen. CPAH decreased with increasing work intensity (heart rate). At an oxygen uptake corresponding to half of the aerobic work capacity it was about 70% and at heavy work 35–45% of the value at rest. The renal fraction of the cardiac output averaged, at rest, 17% and decreased with increasing work loads to 2.5–5% as a minimum. CIn did not change significantly until heavy exercise was performed. The filtration fraction increased during exercise. clearances of inulin and para-aminohippuric acid; cardiac output Submitted on May 28, 1965
