Analysis of Peak Oxygen Consumption and Heart Rate During Elliptical and Treadmill Exercise
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: To compare peak oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) during treadmill (TM) running and exercise on an elliptical trainer (ET). Design: A graded exercise test (GXT) during TM running and ET exercise. Participants: Physically active college students (N = 14; 25 ± 4.6 years). Each completed a TM GXT and ET GXT on separate days. Results: There were no differences in either VO2peak or peak HR between TM (53.0 ± 7.7 ml · kg–1 · min–1, 193.4 ± 9.4 bpm) and ET (51.6 ± 10.7 ml · kg–1 · min–1, 191.2 ± 11.5 bpm; P > .05). Correlations between HR and VO2 data for all stages of exercise for all subjects were similar between machines (ET: r = .88; TM: r = .95; P > .05). Conclusion: No adjustments to the target HR used during TM running are necessary when using the ET.

Peak cardiorespiratory responses during aquatic and land treadmill exercise.
PURPOSE Aquatic treadmill exercise has traditionally been used for aerobic training during rehabilitation; however, its ability to elicit comparable cardiorespiratory stress compared with land exercise is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardiorespiratory (CR) responses elicited during maximal-effort protocols using an aquatic treadmill (ATM) and a land treadmill (TM). ...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary exercise testing in mild heart failure: impact of the mode of exercise on established prognostic predictors.
OBJECTIVES In patients with heart failure (HF), peak oxygen consumption (peak VO(2)), the relationship between minute ventilation and carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO(2) slope) and heart rate recovery (HRR) are established prognostic predictors. However, treadmill exercise has been shown to elicit higher peak VO(2) values than bicycle exercise. We sought to assess whether the VE/VCO(2) slope a...
متن کاملComparison of peak oxygen consumption during cycle and treadmill exercise in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND In normal subjects treadmill exercise usually produces the greatest maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). This may not be true for patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in whom bicycle exercise, which offers support for the shoulder girdle, may produce a higher oxygen consumption than treadmill exercise. The aim of this study was to determine which mode of ...

Background Peak oxygen consumption is reduced in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure, but functional capacity of patients with asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction has not been assessed by measurement of peak oxygen consumption attained during graded exercise testing. Methods and Results Peak oxygen consumption, that is, aerobic capacity (Vo2, mL/kg per minute), was...
متن کاملMetabolic and ventilatory changes in asthmatic patients during and after exercise.
Five asthmatic patients aged 25-30 years were studied during and after 6-8 minutes of steady exercise on both a bicycle ergometer and a treadmill. For each patient the duration of work, oxygen consumption, minute ventilation, and heart rate were similar in each form of exercise. During exercise all patients had an increase in peak expiratory flow rate. The blood lactate level was higher during ...
