Relationship between airway resistance indices and maximal oxygen uptake in young adults
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2009, Vol 19, Issue 47
Abstract
[b]Purpose.[/b] The present study aims at assessing the relationship between airway resistance indexes (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in young adults.[b]Basic procedures.[/b] Subjects of the study are 50 healthy males (mean – SD age, 22.1– 2.47 years; mean FEV1, 3.41– .66 liter; mean – SD FVC, 3.96 – .56 liter; mean – SD VO2max, 38.83–9.83 ml • kg–1 • min–1) studying at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. After determining subjects’ volumes of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC by digital spirometer, maximal oxygen uptake was measured. The study protocol in order to measurement VO2max level was sub maximal Åstrand-Rhyming test on ergometer cycle. The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics (Spearman correlation coefficient).[b]Results and conclusions. [/b]Results show that there is a significant correlation among FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and VO2max. Based on the results, it can be concluded that spirometric indexes are strong predictors for determining the level of maximal oxygen uptake.
