The purpose of this study was to ascertain if gender and selected physiologic and anthropometric factors could account for variations in the oxygen cost of cycle ergometry. Forty women and 25 men volunteered as subjects. Subjects performed a three stage cycle ergometry test at power outputs of 0,360, and 540 kgm·min−1 respectively while their oxygen consumption was measured. The subjects also had several anthropometric, body composition, and knee muscle force measures made. Results indicated that most of the variables were significantly related to cycling VO2 (p ≤ .05). Fat‐free mass (FFM) and fat‐free thigh mass (FFTM) correlated the highest and identically with VO2 (r = .80, .67, and .57) at each respective power output listed above. Using stepwise multiple regression only one variable, FFTM, was associated with the equation for each power output. Because FFM correlated identically with VO2, the resulting equations were statistically equivalent in terms of r2 (.64, .45, and .35, respectively) and SEE (7...

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of various measures of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to 10 km run time. Subjects were 14 trained and experienced female distance runners whose mean (±SD) age, mass, percent body fat, and VO2 max were 31.3 ± 2.8 yr, 58.5 ± 6.7 kg, 17.5 ± 3.9 percent, and 48.9 ± 4.9 ml· min−1 · kg−1 respectively. Results indicated that ventilation threshold (VT), velocity at VO2 max (vVO2 max), V02max, 50 m sprint time, and peak knee extension torque at 400 deg· sec−1 were significantly correlated with 10 km run time (p ≤ .05). Stepwise multiple regression indicated that VT was the strongest single predictor explaining 48% of the variance while 50 m sprint time increased the explained variance to 67.2% (SEE = 1.40 min). The regression equation developed was: Y' = 48.65 ‐ .270 (VT ml· min−1 · kg−1 + .90 (50m in sec). The results of this investigation provide evidence that distance running performance may be attributed to individual variables such as VT and anaerobi...
本研究的目的是检验各种有氧和无氧代谢指标与10公里跑步时间的关系。研究对象为14名训练有素和经验丰富的女性长跑运动员,她们的平均(±SD)年龄、体重、体脂百分比和最大摄氧量分别为31.3±2.8岁、58.5±6.7 kg、17.5±3.9%和48.9±4.9 ml·min - 1·kg - 1。结果表明,通气阈值(VT)、最大VO2速度(vVO2 max)、V02max、50 m冲刺时间和400°·sec−1的膝关节伸展扭矩峰值与10 km跑时显著相关(p≤0.05)。逐步多元回归表明,VT是最强的单一预测因子,解释了48%的方差,而50 m冲刺时间使解释方差增加到67.2% (SEE = 1.40 min)。建立的回归方程为:Y′= 48.65‐0.270 (VT ml·min−1·kg−1 + 0.90 (50m in sec)。这项调查的结果提供了证据,证明长跑成绩可能归因于个体变量,如VT和厌氧…

The purpose of this study was to compare the physiological responses associated with two aerobic dance class designs, a high impact aerobic (HIA) class and a low impact aerobic (LIA) class. The HIA class involved 25 minutes of HIA followed by 15 minutes of strength exercise. The LIA class contained 40 minutes of LIA. Subjects consisted of nine female volunteers (age 29.9 yrs ± 4.1 yrs) who participated regularly (3 times/week) in aerobic exercise classes (mean VO2max, 43.2 ± 3.4 ml·min−1·kg−1). Subjects were evaluated in both classes on separate days. HR was measured continuously by telemetry and blood lactate was measured before, six times during and at the end of a class. A linear regression on HR‐VO2max was plotted to estimate the VO2 during a class. Mean heart rate (161 ± 21 b·min−1 vs 144 ± 27 b·min−1), VO2 (35.3 + 4.3 ml·min−1·kg−1 vs 31.8 ± 5. ml·min−1·kg−1) and total energy expenditure (2237 kJ·person−1 vs 2008 kJ·person−1) were all significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) during the LIA compared with the ...

The aim of this study was the development of a physical fitness examination for girls with scoliosis using a field test of walking for 2 km. Comparison of the results of the field test of walking was made both in patients with different degrees of spine deformity as well as with reference values of a healthy population using the same test. Judgment of the validity of the test for use in longterm supervision was attempted. A total of 33 girls with idio‐pathic scoliosis were examined (before operation) and divided into group A (n = 8; age 15.1 ± 2.8; angle according to Cobb <60°) and group B (n = 25; age 14.7 ± 2.1; ≥60). Spirometry, acid base balance (ABB [BE, cH+]) in blood, oxygen consumption (VO2), and heart rate (HR) were examined during the walking test; in addition, the functional response, a performance time, and a fitness index were evaluated. The test was performed without subjective complaints (RPE x= 11.4) or any significant functional and ABB change. Results showed a better physiological reacti...

Ten able bodied subjects (AB) volunteered to be tested with a Respond II neuromuscular stimulator applied to the lower extremities during submaximal arm crank exercise (ACE) to determine its effect on heart rate (min−1) and VO2 in ml·min−1 ·kg−1. One to two hours after a maximal ACE test, subjects performed four 9‐minute submaximal bouts of ACE; two at 25% and two at 70% of VO2peak. Each work rate was performed with and without, a randomly ordered, electrical stimulation (ES) of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups respectively. Electrical stimulation intensity was determined by a subject's maximal tolerance. Data, from four submaximum tests were analyzed with a two 2×2 repeated measures analysis of variance. The main effects were work rate (25% VO2peak and 70% VO2peak) and electrical stimulation (STIM) no stimulation (NOSTIM). No statistical differences was found between the STIM and NOSTIM in VO2 or heart rate at either 25% VO2peak (11.0 ml·min−1·kg−1 vs. 11.2 ml·min−1·kg−1; and 89 min−1 vs. 88 mi...

Twenty‐three individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) participated in a 6‐month exercise training program; 11 ambulatory (AMB) and 8 semi‐ambulatory (SEMI). Four persons with MS served as non‐exercising controls (C). A test of maximal aerobic power (VO2max) was administered at baseline to all subjects. AMB and SEMI subjects exercised on alternating days for 30 minutes, at 55‐60% VO2max using either a commercially available recumbent or upright combination leg/arm bicycle ergometer. At the end of 12 and 24 weeks, exercising subjects were re‐evaluated. The C group was only re‐evaluated at 24 weeks. The results show that the AMB and SEMI groups experienced a +20% and +5% improvement in VO2max, respectively. The C group averaged a 12% decline in VO2max during the 6 months. These data demonstrate the possibility that although exercise improves cardiovascular fitness of some persons with less severe MS, this beneficial response may not apply to the more severely impaired patient. Nevertheless, improved cardiova...

This study examined the acute effect of varied interval lengths and work: recovery (W:R) ratios on the ability to reach and maintain a high level of aerobic power. Eight female rowers (mean XVO2max of 3.46 [0.64] L · min−1) completed 1 continuous and 7 interval sessions on a Concept II rowing ergometer. Exercise intensity was set at a power output that elicited each individual's VO2max (VO2maxPO) and work was terminated when PO remained below 90% VO2maxPO for 15 seconds. The interval protocols were a 2:1 W: R ratio for work intervals of 30 seconds, 1,2, and 3 minutes, respectively, and a 1:1 W: R ratio for respective work intervals of 1,2, and 3 minutes. Venous blood lactate concentration (BLa) was taken after the first 3 or 4 minutes of exercise and 2 minutes post‐exercise. Total work time (TWT) was greater (p ≤ 0.05) with an interval protocol compared with continuous exercise and decreased both when the exercise interval was lengthened and when the W:R ratio changed from 1:1 to 2:1.

Cross‐sectional data on 67 competitive female athletes representing seven Division I sports were examined for serum lipids and lipoproteins, body composition, and dietary intake as well as a control group consisting of demographically similar yet inactive women. Sports included cross‐country, gymnastics, swimming, basketball, volleyball, golf, and tennis. Results indicated that all groups were similar for age, height, and weight. Of the athletes, only the gymnasts and cross‐country runners had a significantly lower group mean percent body fat (p ≤ 0.05) than the control group. Analysis of variance indicated a significant group mean difference in serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) concentration (p ≤ 0.05) between a female group athlete and control group subject. Each of the athletic groups had a significantly higher serum HDL‐C concentration than the control group.

Of the athletes, only the gymnasts and cross‐country runners had a significantly lower group mean percent body fat (p ≤ 0.05) than the control group. Analysis of variance indicated a significant group mean difference in serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) concentration (p ≤ 0.05) between a female group athlete and control group subject.

The Bruininks‐Oseretsky test battery has been applied to a sample of 33 boys and 10 girls with learning disabilities. The age of the students (mean ± SD) was 9.4 ±1.1 years. The female students were heavier (p ≤ 0.001) and a little taller (p ≤ 0.05) than a representative Canadian sample of comparable age. Relative to the norm for a North American population, the motor performance score for balance (p ≤ 0.001), bilateral coordination (p ≤ 0.001), upper limb coordination (p ≤ 0.001), visual motor control (p ≤ 0.001), upper limb speed and dexterity (p ≤ 0.001), and response speed (p ≤ 0.001) were all significantly reduced. There was also a trend toward a reduction in strength (p ≤ 0.025) and a corresponding deficit in gross motor (p ≤ 0.005), fine motor (p ≤ 0.001), and battery (p ≤ 0.001) composite score. A significant gender difference (favoring males) for strength (p ≤ 0.001) and response speed (p ≤ 0.001) was shown, together with a related trend in gross motor composite (p ≤ 0.025), fine motor composite ...
