VO2max =
What happens to the graph when it reaches VO2max =
maximal oxegen uptake
Plateau
The Oxygen Transport System factors that affect VO2max are (in order)
Pulmonary ventilation, Hemoglobin
concentration, blood volume and cardiac output, Peripheral blood flow, Aerobic metabolism
VO2 Peak is
Highest O2 consumption during exercise test regardless of whether a plateau is reached
What is the units of Absolute Vo2?
What does Absolute Vo2 measure?
Measure in L/min or ml/min
■ Provide a measure of “energy cost of non-weight-bearing exercises.”
What are the units for Relative Vo2?
What kind of exercises is Relative Vo2 for?
Relative to body mass: ml/kg/min
■ Always for weight-bearing exercises
● Net vs. Gross Vo2
○ Gross Vo2
■ Rest + Exercise O2 consumption
○ Net Vo2
■ O2 consumption of exercise only
What is the primary criteria needs to be met to attain a Primary Vo2 max?
■ Plateau in o2 consumption
■ Vo2 increases ≤ 150 ml/min
■ Verified by bout at submaximal load
What is the Secondary Vo2 max attainment criteria?
● HR fails to rise with increasing workload
● RPE> 17 borg 6-20 Scale
● Blood Lactate > 8 mmol/L
● RER> 1.15
Procedures for Exercise Testing
- Timely delivery of protest guidelines
- Informed consent and screening procedure - Baseline hemodynamic assessment
- Familiarization with RPE Scale
- Warm-up
- Monitor RPE and hemodynamics throughout the test and recovery
- Monitor client’s physical appearance and symptoms
- Cool down
Five Reasons to Terminate an Exercise Test
- End protocol
- Equipment malfunction
- Client asks to stop
- Signs or symptoms indicating need to stop
- Reached predetermined endpoint (submaximal Vo2 test)
Do we need to know these??????
General Indications for Termination
- Onset of angina or angina-like symptoms
- Drop of BP more than or equal to 10mmHg
- Excessive rise in BP- Systolic >250 and Diastolic pressure > 115 mmHg
- Shortness of Breath, wheezing, leg cramps, Claudication
- Signs of poor perfusion
- Failure of HR to rise with increased exercise intensity
- Noticeable change in heart rhythm
- Client Request to stop
- Physical or verbal manifestations of severe fatigue
- Failure of the testing equipment
Naughton Protocols
How does it increase?
Increases 3.5% every 2 min
To be able to use eqautions on charts with grade and all that the test must be at
Steady state
Cadence is
Revolutions per minute
Testing with Cycle Ergometers
Before the Test (In Advance) -
Afterward -
In advance -
- Check calibration
- Know cadence & resistance
requirements (especially changes)
- Establish warm-up and cool-down
requirements
- Set proper seat height & handlebars
Afterward -
- Unload any resistance on flywheel
Power = F v = F (d/t) = load (kg) x flywheel “travel” (m/rev) x cadence (rev/min)
Power is the
Units?
rate of doing work
Power = Kg m/min
