Q

why is HR used to estimate VO2?

A

reference Fick equation: VO2 = Q x a-VO2 diff
-because SV and a-VO2 difference max out before 60% of maximal effort
-the only component increase VO2 after that point is HR

Q

YMCA cycle test protocol

A
  1. calculate APMHR (220-age)
  2. explain test + purpose of test to client
  3. properly adjust the height of the seat for client. when the pedal is at its lowest point of rotation, the knee of the client should be at 25 degrees or less from full extension (depending on what the client finds most comfortable)
  4. client should start pedaling at 50 rpm + keep that pace through entire test (have client start pedaling before resistance is adjusted)
  5. if there is no RPM moniter on the cycle ergometer, set a metronome to 100 for the proper pace
  6. warm-up: 2-3 min at same intensity as 1st stage (150 kgm/min)
  7. stage 1 begins at same workload: 150 kgm/min (0.5 kp)
  8. HR at end of 1st stage determines the resistance for the following stages
  9. in subsequent stages, assess HR at end of 2nd + 3rd minute
  10. HRs must be within 5 bpm to be considered “steady state”; if not steady state, continue at same workload for another minute
  11. the client continues until they reach 2 stages about 110bpm (if a client reaches 85% of their APMHR before 2 stages the test as unsuccessful + they need to stop)
  12. following the completion of 2 stages above 110bpm take the data + graphically or mathematically estimate their VO2 max

multiply by 9.806

72
Q

rpm stands for

A

rotations per minute

73
Q

how can work rate be calculate for each stage

kp x rpm x distance covered with each rotation

(kp x 50rpm x 6m) -> (kp x 300m/min)

74
Q

we generate a graph to extrapolate VO2 max from what

A

from the 2 stages above 110bpm

75
Q

graphing to estimate VO2 max from submaximal VO2 test data

A
  1. determine the subject’s HR max (220-age)
  2. draw your axes; x-axis is workrate or VO2; y-axis is HR
  3. draw a horizontal line at HR max
  4. calculate SM1 + SM2 (using ACSM equations)
  5. draw a line connecting the 2 data points + extrapolate out to HR max line
  6. draw a straight line down from that point to obtain VO2 at HR max (aka VO2 max)
76
Q

SM1 + SM2 stand for

A

submax 1 + submax 2

77
Q

x-axis on graph

A

workrate or VO2

78
Q

79
Q

80
Q

units for VO2

81
Q

units for HR

82
Q

A

= [7 ml/kg/min] + [(power (kgm/min) / body mass (kg)) * 1.8 ml/kg/min]

83
Q

power =

A

power = [force (kg)] * [distance (m/rev) * speed (rev/min)]

84
Q

another equation for power

A

power = force x speed

85
Q

force

A

resistance on the flywheel (kg or kp)

86
Q

speed

[distance traveled by the flywheel per revolution (6m/rev)] x [number of revolutions per minute (pedal rate)]

87
Q

**make sure to convert body mass from lbs to kg

88
Q

1 kg = ____ lbs

89
Q

what values do we plot

and how do we get VO2 max from them

A

-SM1 VO2 + HR
-SM2 VO2 + HR

-extrapolate a straight line through the 2 data points up to the line indicating HR max
-draw a straight line down from the intersection of the 2 lines to determine what VO2 would have been at HR max (to estimate VO2 max)

90
Q

how to use slope equation to estimate VO2 max from the final 2 stages of the submaximal VO2 test

A

slope = (SM2VO2 - SM1VO2) / (HR2 - HR1)

VO2 max = SM2VO2 + slope(HRmax - HR2)
