Q

How do we know the VO2max has been reached during maximal testing (4)

A

RER >= 1.1
HR max is achieved
Plateau VO2 with increased workload
RPE > 17 (6-20 scale) or > 9 (0-10 scale)

13
Q

Disadvantages of 12 minute run and 1.5 mile run (5)

A
pacing is a factor
motivated subjects required
safety (streets vs track, unmonitored blood pressure and heart rate)
environmental factors

16
Q

Advantages of the step test (4)

A

safe
less motivation is required
pacing is not a factor
mass testing is possible

17
Q

Disadvantages of the step test (4)

A

low validity and less accurate
low correlation with VO2max
also reflective of muscular endurance
local muscular fatigue

18
Q

Cycle ergometer advantages (6)

A
allows for a calculation of work rate
high validity (r=0.85)
high reliability (r=0.90)
decreased risk
pace is controlled
only a 6 minute test
19
Q

Formula for cycle ergometry workrate

Negative linear slope

25
Q

2 ways to control the workrate on the ergometer

A

RPM

26
Q

T/F (assumptions of VO2 prediction): the heart pumps more efficiently and O2 is more readily utilized for metabolism in more fit individuals

A

T

27
Q

T/F (assumptions of VO2 prediction): increased cardiovascular efficiency is an assumption of VO2 predicitons

A

T

28
Q

T/F (assumptions of VO2 prediction): heart rate is higher to met the metabolic demands of tasks in fit individuals
