Book excerpt: Purpose: To test the effect of using an electrically braked ergometer on the validity and reliability of the YMCA submaximal cycle test. Methods: 22 male and 13 female subjects ages 19 to 31 completed one maximal treadmill test and four submaximal cycle tests to measure and estimate VO2max, respectively. The maximal tests involved recording heart rate and VO2 during graded exercise until volitional fatigue; an actual max was verified when two out of the following criteria: respiratory Exchange Ratio> 1.1, VO2 plateau (150 ml/min increase in VOsub2/sub during final stage), and achievement of 90% age-predicted HR max (or completed a validation stage). The submaximal tests were conducted in accordance with ACSM guidelines (10supth/sup ed.). Measured and predicted VOsub2max/sub measurements were compared between tests using repeated measures ANOVA and Pearson correlations. Results: The treadmill VOsub2max/sub protocol yielded significantly higher values (50.3 ± 7.7 mL/kg/min) than the YMCA submax protocol using a friction-braked (40.8 ± 5.5 mL/kg/min) and electrically braked ergometer (38.8 ± 4.5 mL/kg/min). Furthermore, estimated VOsub2max/sub using the friction-braked ergometer was higher than that observed using the electrically braked ergometer. There were similar reliability coefficients between the friction-braked (R = 0.63) and electrically braked (R = 0.52) ergometers. Lastly, a moderately strong (R = 0.74) relationship was observed between actual VOsub2max/sub and prediction error (VOsub2max/sub - estimated VOsub2max/sub). Conclusion: Both Monark and Viasprint ergometers severely underestimated VOsub2max /subin a sample of generally fit, young individuals. Future investigations should explore the possible relationship between higher aerobic fitness and accuracy of predicting VOsub2max

Book excerpt: Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) serves as an accurate predictor of an individual's cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and is typically measured via a maximal treadmill test. Due to costs, age and health limitations, submaximal tests (such as the YMCA test) can be administered to estimate VO2max values. There is much dispute regarding the validity and accuracy of these tests as estimators of CRF. This study investigated the effect of using an electrically-braked cycle ergometer on the validity of the YMCA cycle ergometer test. A population of healthy, fit college-aged individuals (n = 20) were administered one maximal treadmill test to obtain actual VO2max, and four submaximal tests following the YMCA protocol (2x Monark ergometer and 2x Viapsrint ergometer) to estimate VO2max. Overall this study observed estimated VO2max values obtained from the YMCA protocol underpredicts VO2max (regardless of whether the test is performed on either an electrically-braked or a mechanically-braked ergometer. Neither submaximal test showed a strong correlation (Monark: R = 0.53 & Viasprint: R = 0.30) with actual VO2max but the Monark test was more valid and reliable than the Viasprint test due to the lack of a significant validity and reliability coefficient for the electrically-braked ergometer protocol. Additionally, both submaximal tests showed relatively low reliability coefficients (Monark: R = 0.50 R; Viasprint: R = 0.42). The findings from this study indicate that the YMCA submaximal test needs to undergo improvements in order to serve as an accurate predictor of VO2max in this population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accepted method for determining maximal oxygen consumption is collection and analysis of expired gases which has been limited to the research laboratory. Although a variety of tests may be more practical, the relative safety, validity, and reliability has been a concern. To simplify the Wahlund/Astrand-Rhyming protocols to enhance test precision as well as making it reasonable for the non-technically trained test administrator, a procedure has been developed that allows early selection of the most appropriate test work load. A computerized version makes it possible for non-trained personnel to safely administer this test for estimating aerobic capacity. This study critically evaluates the relationship between estimates of maximal oxygen consumption by a specific cycle ergometer protocol and (1) values obtained by the criterion method employing indirect calorimetry and exhaustive treadmill exercise, and (2) the very high and very low levels of aerobic capacity that are implicit for competitive endurance athletes and for documented sedentary adults, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social epidemiology is the study of how social interactions—social norms, laws, institutions, conventia, social conditions and behavior—affect the health of populations. This practical, comprehensive introduction to methods in social epidemiology is written by experts in the field. It is perfectly timed for the growth in interest among those in public health, community health, preventive medicine, sociology, political science, social work, and other areas of social research. Topics covered are: Introduction: Advancing Methods in Social Epidemiology The History of Methods of Social Epidemilogy to 1965 Indicators of Socioeconomic Position Measuring and Analyzing 'Race' Racism and Racial Discrimination Measuring Poverty Measuring Health Inequalities A Conceptual Framework for Measuring Segregation and its Association with Population Outcomes Measures of Residential Community Contexts Using Census Data to Approximate Neighborhood Effects Community-based Participatory Research: Rationale and Relevance for Social Epidemiology Network Methods in Social Epidemiology Identifying Social Interactions: A Review, Multilevel Studies Experimental Social Epidemiology: Controlled Community Trials Propensity Score Matching Methods for Social Epidemiology Natural Experiments and Instrumental Variable Analyses in Social Epidemiology and Using Causal Diagrams to Understand Common Problems in Social Epidemiology. "Publication of this highly informative textbook clearly reflects the coming of age of many social epidemiology methods, the importance of which rests on their potential contribution to significantly improving the effectiveness of the population-based approach to prevention. This book should be of great interest not only to more advanced epidemiology students but also to epidemiologists in general, particularly those concerned with health policy and the translation of epidemiologic findings into public health practice. The cause of achieving a ‘more complete’ epidemiology envisaged by the editors has been significantly advanced by this excellent textbook." —Moyses Szklo, professor of epidemiology and editor-in-chief, American Journal of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins University "Social epidemiology is a comparatively new field of inquiry that seeks to describe and explain the social and geographic distribution of health and of the determinants of health. This book considers the major methodological challenges facing this important field. Its chapters, written by experts in a variety of disciplines, are most often authoritative, typically provocative, and often debatable, but always worth reading." —Stephen W. Raudenbush, Lewis-Sebring Distinguished Service Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Chicago "The roadmap for a new generation of social epidemiologists. The publication of this treatise is a significant event in the history of the discipline." —Ichiro Kawachi, professor of social epidemiology, Department of Society, Human Development, and Health, Harvard University "Methods in Social Epidemiology not only illuminates the difficult questions that future generations of social epidemiologists must ask, it also identifies the paths they must boldly travel in the pursuit of answers, if this exciting interdisciplinary science is to realize its full potential. This beautifully edited volume appears at just the right moment to exert a profound influence on the field." —Sherman A. James, Susan B. King Professor of Public Policy Studies, professor of Community and Family Medicine, professor of African-American Studies, Duke University
