Q

Purpose of submaximal exercise testing

A

prediction of VO2 max (max aerobic capacity) from an endpoint measured during a submaximal exercise effort

45
Q

Types of endpoints in submaximal exercise testing

A

HR during steady-state exercise or immediately after exercise
time to complete a given submaximal workload

46
Q

Submaximal testing advantages vs maximal testing

A
  1. easier, faster to administer to large groups of persons
  2. less expensive equipment and less specialized training are required (if VO2 is not measured)
  3. subject motivation is less of a concern
  4. decreased probability of provoking a cardiac event during exercise
47
Q

typical measurements during submaximal testing

A
  1. heart rate
  2. blood pressure (not practical during field tests)
  3. RPE
  4. for field tests: time to complete a standard workload or distance covered in a standard period of time
  5. signs and symptoms of cardiac or pulmonary distress
48
Q

why do we use heart rate to predict oxygen consumption?

A
  1. there is a strong positive relationship between cardiac output and VO2 during aerobic exercise
  2. the rise in heart rate is primarily responsible for the increase cardiac output during exercise (peak rise in SV occurs at light intensity)
  3. there is a close relationship between HR and VO2 when intensity is increased from high to moderately heavy workloads
49
Q

Explain cardiac output and its relationship to VO2

A

CO is proportional to VO2
CO = HR x SV
CO is linearly related to heart rate during moderate exercise
Therefore, VO2 is linearly related to heart rate response during moderate exercise

50
Q

A

measure steady-state HR at 2 or more consecutive workloads considered light to moderately heavy for the subject

51
Q

how long are the stages (workloads) when using steady-state HR to predict VO2max in cycle ergometry?

A

about 3 mins

must be in steady state (2 HR measurements within 5 bpm) before workload is increased again

52
Q

When using steady-state HR to predict VO2max in cycle ergometry, how many consecutive stages do you need?

A

2 or more that elicit HR between 110 and no more than 85% of predicted max HR (or 70% or HRR) in order to predict maximal workload or VO2

53
Q

What are the assumptions underlying the prediction of aerobic capacity from submaximal HR?

A
  1. steady-state conditions are present when measuring HR
  2. duration of stages are usually >90 secs to 3 mins
  3. a linear relationship exists between HR and VO2 up to maximum exercise
  4. maximal HR at a given age is uniform among individuals
  5. mechanical efficiency or oxygen cost of the activity is the same for all individuals
54
Q

can ramp protocols be used when predicting aerobic capacity from submaximal HR?

A

no

55
Q

where does the tightest linear relationship between HR and VO2 occur?

A

when the workload is <85% (moderately heavy) of predicted heart rate

56
Q

is maximum HR at a given age actually uniform?

A

no, it varies +/- 10-12 bpm from predicted value

this is an unavoidable source of error

underestimation

A

stepping: +/- 10%

60
Q

What other factors can affect the slop of the submaximal HR:VO2 relationship?

A
  1. dehydration or exposure to heat/humidity
  2. eating prior to the test
  3. alcohol, caffeine
  4. fear, excitement or other emotional stress (less important at higher workloads)
61
Q

what accuracy can we expect when predicting VO2max from submaximal HR?

A
  • generally, VO2 max predicted from submaximal HR is within 10-20% of the individuals actual value
  • this is suitable error for general screening and categorizing “fitness” levels
  • submax tests are also an excellent method for following a subject’s progress though a training program

  4. use prediction equation (speed, HR, age, gender)
66
Q

how accurate is the single-stage submaximal treadmill test?

A

+/- 5 ml/kg/min

67
Q

Submaximal Step tests categories

A
  1. use the exercise HR just prior to the end of the exercise bout –> the lower the HR, the greater the aerobic capacity
  2. use the recovery HR determined during a specific period post exercise (# of bpm in one minutes starting 5 seconds into recovery) –> the faster the recovery/the lower the HR, the greater the aerobic capacity
68
