A comparative study of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) determined by two sub-maximal exercise tests
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim The aim of the study was to compare the predictive values of VO2max determined by two submaximal exercise tests Bruce submaximal exercise test and Treadmill jogging test and to find correlation between these two testsMaterials and Methods One hundred twenty five apparently healthy male subjects 1825 years underwent first three stages of the original Bruce protocol in one session and exercise according to Treadmill jogging test in another session in randomised order VO2max was calculated by using appropriate regression equationResults VO2max values from two tests t test revealed similar mean values of VO2max between the two tests 4706 274 vs 4720 227 t064 p0649 ie not differed statistically Concordance correlation coefficient showed an insignificant p005 concordance between the two tests r0020 95 CI0152 to 0191 with low precision p0021 but with high bias correction factor Cb098Conclusion In conclusion we can say that these two tests are comparable in terms of mean values of VO2max Poor correlation coefficient between the two tests should be subjected to further study with subjects having wider age range and wide range in VO2max values Keywords VO2max Submaximal exercise Treadmill test Physical fitness
