Abstract
Although maximal incremental exercise tests (GXT) are the gold standard for outcome assessment and exercise proscription, they are not widely available in either fitness or clinical exercise programs. This study compared the prediction of VO2max in healthy, sedentary volunteers using a non-exercise prediction (Matthews, Heil, Freedson & Pastides, 1999), RPE extrapolation to 19 & 20 (Eston, Lambrick, Sheppard & Parfitt, 2008) and the Rockport Walking Test (RWT)(Kline et al, 1987) and of VT using the Talk Test (Foster et al., 2018) and RPE @ 13,14,15. Subjects performed treadmill GXT with gas exchange, submaximal treadmill with RPE and Talk Test, the RWT and the Matthews non-exercise estimation. All methods provided reasonable estimates of both VO2max and VT, with correlations >0.75 and SEE ~1 MET. VO2max was best estimated with extrapolation to RPE=19. VT was observed intermediate between the Last Positive & Equivocal stages of the TT and between RPE 13 & 14. Non-maximal evaluation, and even non-exercise equations can be used as a substitude for maximal GXT with gas exchange to make reasonable estimates of both VO2max and VT.
期刊介绍:
Kinesiology – International Journal of Fundamental and Applied Kinesiology (print ISSN 1331- 1441, online ISSN 1848-638X) publishes twice a year scientific papers and other written material from kinesiology (a scientific discipline which investigates art and science of human movement; in the meaning and scope close to the idiom “sport sciences”) and other adjacent human sciences focused on sport and exercise, primarily from anthropology (biological and cultural alike), medicine, sociology, psychology, natural sciences and mathematics applied to sport in its broadest sense, history, and others. Contributions of high scientific interest, including also results of theoretical analyses and their practical application in physical education, sport, physical recreation and kinesitherapy, are accepted for publication. The following sections define the scope of the journal: Sport and sports activities, Physical education, Recreation/leisure, Kinesiological anthropology, Training methods, Biology of sport and exercise, Sports medicine and physiology of sport, Biomechanics, History of sport and Book reviews with news.
