Prediction of metabolic and cardiopulmonary responses to maximum cycle ergometry

Prediction of metabolic and cardiopulmonary responses to maximum cycle ergometry: a randomised study.

All of the most widely-cited studies for the prediction of maximum exercise responses have utilized either volunteers or referred subjects. Therefore, selection bias, with overestimation of the reference values, is a likely consequence. In order to establish a set of predictive equations for the gas exchange, ventilatory and cardiovascular responses to maximum ramp-incremental cycle ergometry, ...

Metabolic responses to arm ergometry and functional neuromuscular stimulation.

The hips and lower extremities of four complete paraplegic male subjects (T-6, T-7, T-8, and T-11) were stimulated with functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) via transcutaneous intramuscular electrodes (20 mA, 0-150 pulse width, and 20 Hz). Cardiopulmonary (CP) and/or cardiovascular (CV) responses were measured during maximal (seated) arm ergometry (AE), FNS, and FNS + AE. Subjects' lower ...

Cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses to maximum exercise and aerobic capacity in hemiplegic patients.

This study evaluated cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses to maximum exercise and aerobic capacity in hemiplegic patients and clarified the relationship between the resulting data and motor disability. Twenty patients with stroke and fifteen healthy controls were included in the study. Cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses to maximum exercise were investigated with an electronically braked...

Responses to arm and leg ergometry.

Arm (A), leg (L) and combined arm and leg (A + L) ergometry modes were compared at power outputs of 49, 73.5 and 98 W. Selected cardiorespiratory variables and a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured for 19 males of mean age 25.7 (+/- 5.5) years. Oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR), minute ventilation and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were all higher (p less than 0.01) in A com...
