Download or read book Relationship Between the Army Two Mile Run Test and Maximal Oxygen Uptake written by and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty-four male (aged 20-51) and seventeen female (aged 20-37) subjects of various fitness and activity levels were evaluated on a two mile run for time and on a treadmill for maximal oxygen consumption. The coefficient of correlation between the treadmill maximal test and the two mile run test for all subjects was -0.91. Separate regression analyses for male and female data also displayed significant correlations (rm = -0.91, rf = -0.89). Stepwise multiple regression analysis of such anthropometric variables as age, height, weight, and % body fat demonstrated that, individually, none of these parameters significantly improved the predictability of both the male and female equations. However, inclusion of body weight in the male equation did improve the predictive accuracy (SEE = 3.31 to 2.69). The high degree of correlation demonstrated between VO2 max and two mile run time thus permits the estimation of either component with significant accuracy from the direct measurement of the other. This study confirms the usefulness and validity of the Army's 2 mile run for time test to indicate the level of aerobic fitness capacity when the test is properly supervised and the subjects are well-motivated. Keywords: Maximal 02 uptake, Aerobic fitness, Running performance, Predicted aerobic capacity.
Download or read book Body Composition and Physical Performance written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the entire field of body composition as it relates to performance. It includes a clear definition of terminology and a discussion of the various methods for measuring body composition. The authored papers represent a state-of-the-art review of this controversial field and address questions such as: What is a better measure of body compositionâ€"body fat or lean body mass? Does being overweight for one's height really affect performance? The book also addresses the issue of physical appearance as it relates to body fatness and performance. It includes an in-depth discussion of many of the topics of interest to those involved in sports medicine and exercise physiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a maximal effort two-mile run for time and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) as measured by treadmill running. Subjects were forty-four males (aged 20-51) and seventeen females (aged 20-37) of various fitness and activity levels. All subjects performed a timed two mile run and a treadmill running test for maximal oxygen uptake. The coefficient of correlation between the treadmill maximal test and the two mile run test for all subjects was -0.91. Separate regression analyses for male and female data also displayed significant correlations (r sub m -0.91, r sub f -0.89). The addition fo such variables as age, height, weight, and % body fat did not improve the predictability of the equations. However, inclusion of body weight in the male equation did increase its predictive accuracy (SEE = 3.31 to 2.69). The high degree of the other. This study confirms the usefulness and validity of a timed 2 mile run test to indicate the level of aerobic fitness capacity when the test is properly supervised and the subjects are well-motivated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military's concerns about the individual combat service member's ability to avoid performance degradation, in conjunction with the need to maintain both mental and physical capabilities in highly stressful situations, have led to and interest in developing methods by which commanders can monitor the status of the combat service members in the field. This report examines appropriate biological markers, monitoring technologies currently available and in need of development, and appropriate algorithms to interpret the data obtained in order to provide information for command decisions relative to the physiological "readiness" of each combat service member. More specifically, this report also provides responses to questions posed by the military relative to monitoring the metabolic regulation during prolonged, exhaustive efforts, where nutrition/hydration and repair mechanisms may be mismatched to intakes and rest, or where specific metabolic derangements are present.
