This book was released on 1964 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was designed to permit a comparison of the values obtained on four maximal oxygen consumption tests: the Mitchell, Sproule and Chapman Maximal Oxygen Intake Test, the Taylor, Puskirk and Penschel Treadmill test of Maximal Oxygen Consumption, the modified Astrand Bicycle Ergometer test of Maximal Oxygen Uptake and the modified Astrand-Ryhming Nomogram for the Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake. In addition, an attempt was made to determine the degree of relationship between the predictive-type maximal oxygen consumption test, the determined measures of maximal oxygen consumption as yielded by both of the treadmill tests and the bicycle ergometer test and a test of physical fitness. The Johnson, Brouha and Darling test of Physical Fitness was used to determine a fitness score. A second aspect of the study was an attempt to examine changes in oxygen uptake values on the various tests incurred by additional work after a maximal value had been arrived at on the basis of the criteria established in the test outline. The experimental group was composed of 24 healthy, physically active male students and staff members of the University of Alberta and soldiers from Griesbach Barracks, Edmonton, Alberta. The age range was 17 to 53 years. The testing sequence was based on a permutation design except for the physical fitness test which was administered on the initial visit. A Godart Capnograph carbon dioxide analyzer and a Beckman #E-2 oxygen analyzer were used for the gas analysis and their accuracy was validated by the Scholander method. The mean maximal oxygen consumption values obtained on the Mitchell et al. test, Taylor et al. test and the modified Astrand-Ryhming Nomogram test were found to be significantly larger than the mean obtained on the modified Astrand Bicycle Ergometer test (p = .05). The values (expressed as liters of oxygen consumed per minute) obtained on the modified Astrand-Ryhming nomogram correlated at 0.80 with the physical fitness test, 0.78 with the Mitchell et al. test, 0.72 with the Taylor, Buskirk and Henschel test and 0.65 with the modified Astrand Bicycle Ergometer test. Correlations after body weight was partialled out were of the same magnitude. Of 22 subjects who performed extra worklevels on the Mitchell et al. test after achieving a criterion-designated maximal oxygen uptake, 15 developed a significantly higher value (p = .01). Seven subjects participated in this phase of the study on the Taylor et al. test. Three of the seven developed a significantly higher maximal oxygen consumption value (p = .05). None of the 15 subjects who did extra work on the modified Astrand Bicycle Ergometer test was able to elicit a higher maximal oxygen uptake value. Within the limitations of the study it was concluded that: 1. The treadmill tests and the predictive-type test yielded higher maximal oxygen consumption values than did the modified Astrand Bicycle Ergometer test. 2. The correlation coefficients which resulted from a comparison of the Astrand-Ryhming Nomogram test with the other four tests were not significantly different from the correlations that existed between the maximal tests of oxygen consumption and the fitness score. 5. The Astrand-Ryhming test produced a significantly larger variance than did any of the three direct tests of maximal oxygen consumption. 4. The present criteria used for the establishment of a maximal oxygen consumption value on the two treadmill tests studied do not necessarily provide a maximal estimation of this ability for all subjects.

Book A Comparative Analysis of the One mile Field Test to Actual Maximal Oxygen Consumption in College Males

Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of the One mile Field Test to Actual Maximal Oxygen Consumption in College Males written by Stacey C. Van Skyhawk and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 34 healthy college male volunteers, 18-29yrs, performed an actual VO2max test and 2, one-mile walks for time. Each S's age, wt (lbs), gender, HR responses, and time during a one-mile walk were obtained to calculate VO2max, both absolute (1 min) and relative (ml kg-1 min-1) values using Kline's et al. (1987) equations. These prediction VO2max values, using general and sex-specific equations, were correlated with actual VO2max values using a Pearson Product Moment correlation. Each r correlation coefficient was sig at the 0.001 level. A dependent t-test indicated that actual VO2max was sig (p

Book Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake Using the Rockport One Mile Walk Test and Rating of Perceived Exertion

Download or read book Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake Using the Rockport One Mile Walk Test and Rating of Perceived Exertion written by Alexander L. Beauchene and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of using the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) on the accuracy of the Rockport 1- mile walk test. Eighty-eight subjects ranging in age and fitness levels performed a Rockpmt 1- mile walk test and a Balke maximal oxygen consumption (V02max) test on the treadmill. During both tests the subject's RPE was recorded each stage of the V02mnx test and every 200 meters of the Rockpmt test. Maximal oxygen consumption was predicted by using linear regression. The accuracy of the equations was determined using multiple regression (R2 between V02max predicted fi·om 1 mile walk time and RPE with measured V02max· The Rockport lJ equation was slightly less accurate compared to the original Rockport, but is simpler as it only used 2 variables. The equation: Predicted V02max = 31.142- (1.13- (Walk time))- (.305(final RPE)) x 3.5, R2 predictive power to the equation when compared to only using time to walk !·mile and was not significantly different than the original Rockport equation. ) and standard error of estimate (SEE).
