Abstract: Abdominal obesity is the accumulation of body fat in the abdomen that is most prevalent in males. The prevalence of abdominal obesity in Indonesia increased from 2007 (18.8%) to 2013 (26.6%) and North Sulawesi was the second rank of abdominal obesity among other provinces. Some studies suggested that there was a relationship between hematocrit, blood viscosity, and blood pressure, however, there is no study about these three parameters in young adult males with abdominal obesity so far. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between hematocrit and systolic blood pressure (SBP) as well as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in young adult males with abdominal obesity. This was a cross-sectional analytical study in 42 male students aged 18-40 years of Faculty of Medicine, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado. The Spearman correlation test showed r= 0.208 and p= 0.186 for hematocrit level and SBP; and r= 0.339 and p= 0.028 for hematocrit level and DBP. Conclusion: There was a significant positive relationship between hematocrit and diastolic blood pressure but not with systolic blood pressure in male young adults with abdominal obesity.Keywords: blood pressure, hematocrit, abdominal obesity Abstrak: Obesitas sentral adalah penumpukan lemak dalam tubuh di bagian perut, paling banyak terjadi pada pria. Prevalensi obesitas sentral di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan dari tahun 2007 (18,8%) hingga tahun 2013 (26,6 %) dimana Sulawesi Utara merupakan provinsi kedua tertinggi dengan obesitas sentral pada tahun 2013. Beberapa penelitian menyatakan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara kadar hematokrit, viskositas darah, dan tekanan darah namun penelitian secara khusus pada pria dewasa muda dengan obesitas sentral belum pernah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar hematokrit dengan tekanan darah sistolik (TDS) dan diastolik (TDD) pada pria dewasa muda obesitas sentral. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik korelasi dengan desain potong lintang pada 42 mahasiswa pria usia 18-40 tahun di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman mendapatkan nilai r= 0,208 dan nilai p= 0,186 pada kadar hematokrit dengan TDS. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman mendapatkan nilai r= 0,339 dan nilai p= 0,028 pada kadar hematokrit dengan TDD. Simpulan: Pada pria dewasa muda dengan obesitas sentral didapatkan hubungan bermakna antara kadar hematokrit dengan tekanan darah diastolik namun tidak dengan tekanan darah sistolik. Kata kunci: tekanan darah, hematokrit, obesitas sentral

Vo2max Test

The aim of the present study was to assess the validity of verification phase (VP) testing and a 3 min all-out test to determine critical power (CP) in males with obesity. Nine young adult males with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg·m−2 completed a cycle ergometer ramp-style VO2max test, four randomized VP tests at 80, 90, 100, and 105% of maximum wattage attained during the ramp test, and a 3 min all-out test. There was a significant main effect for VO2max across all five tests (p = 0.049). Individually, 8 of 9 participants attained a higher VO2max (L/min) during a VP test compared to the ramp test. A trend (p = 0.06) was observed for VO2max during the 90% VP test (3.61 ± 0.54 L/min) when compared to the ramp test (3.37 ± 0.39 L/min). A significantly higher VO2max (p = 0.016) was found in the VP tests that occurred below 130% of CP wattage (N = 15, VO2max = 3.76 ± 0.52 L/min) compared to those that were above (N = 21, VO2max = 3.36 ± 0.41 L/min). Our findings suggest submaximal VP tests at 90% may elicit the highest VO2max in males with obesity and there may be merit in using % of CP wattage to determine optimal VP intensity.
