Assessing maximal exercise capacity: peak work or peak oxygen consumption?
BACKGROUND Exercise capacity assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing is usually measured by peak oxygen consumption (VO2). However, not uncommonly, patients achieve a relatively higher work load (peak work) compared to their peak VO2. In these situations it is difficult to know which parameter to use in assessing exercise capacity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there a...
متن کاملImpairment of exercise capacity and peak oxygen consumption in patients with mild left ventricular dysfunction and coronary artery disease.
AIMS Most studies in chronic heart failure have only included patients with marked left ventricular systolic dysfunction (i.e. ejection fraction < or =0.35), and patients with mild left ventricular dysfunction are usually excluded. Further, exercise capacity strongly depends on age, but age-adjustment is usually not applied in these studies. Therefore, this study sought to establish whether (ag...
متن کاملEvaluating Variables as Unbiased Proxies for Other Measures: Assessing the Step Test Exercise Prescription as a Proxy for the Maximal, High-intensity Peak Oxygen Consumption in Older Adults.
To assess validity of a low-intensity measure of fitness (X) in a population of older adults as a proxy measure for the original, high-intensity measure (Y), we used ordinary least square regression with the new, potential proxy measure (X) as the sole explanatory variable for Y. A perfect proxy measure would be unbiased (i.e., result in a regression line with a y-intercept of zero and a slope ...
متن کاملKinetics of oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise near or above peak oxygen uptake.
We tested the hypothesis that kinetics of O(2) uptake (VO(2)) measured in the transition to exercise near or above peak VO(2) (VO(2 peak)) would be slower than those for subventilatory threshold exercise. Eight healthy young men exercised at approximately 57, approximately 96, and approximately 125% VO(2 peak). Data were fit by a two- or three-component exponential model and with a semilogarith...
متن کاملEffect of exercise training on peak oxygen consumption in patients with cancer: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effects of supervised exercise training on peak oxygen consumption (VO(2peak)) in adults with cancer. METHODS A literature review using Ovid MEDLINE (1950-2010), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (1991-2010), AMED (1985-2010), Embase (1988-2010), PubMed (1966-2010), Scopus (1950-2010), and Web of Science (1950-2010) was...
