Lab Test 1 (lab 4) Flashcards
A prediction of maximal oxygen consumption based on cycle ergometry
astrand-rhyming test
Most commonly used index to assess CR fitness or the ability to do sustained work
VO2max
On a VO2 max vs workload graph the increasing slope indicates this
VO2 submax
Methods of determining VO2 max
Maximal
Submaximal
How do we know the VO2max has been reached during maximal testing (4)
RER >= 1.1
HR max is achieved
Plateau VO2 with increased workload
RPE > 17 (6-20 scale) or > 9 (0-10 scale)
Calculation for age predicted heart rate max
220-age
Disadvantages of maximal testing to determine VO2max (5)
Subjects need to be motivated higher risk than submaximal testing time consuming expensive trained exercise testers are required
Two types of maximal VO2max testing (2)
12 minute run
1.5 mile run
How to conduct a 12 minute run test
run as far as possible in 12 minues and then measure distance covered
r = this in a 1.5 mile run
0.90
VO2 vs distance graph
postive slope
slope is steeper for individuals with higher VO2max
VO2 vs 1.5 mile run time
negative slope
Disadvantages of 12 minute run and 1.5 mile run (5)
pacing is a factor motivated subjects required safety (streets vs track, unmonitored blood pressure and heart rate) environmental factors specificity (type of event ex. cyclist)
Two types of submaximal VO2max testing
Step test (harvard step test) cycle ergometer
What is the step test based on (3)
age, gender, recovery HR
