Study of VO2max in Relation to Body Mass Index before and After Exercise in Healthy Young Adults
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: VO2max is the maximum capacity to transport & utilize O2 during incremental exercise and VO2max is the accepted measure of cardiorespiratory effiency. VO2max in normal active male is 38ml/kg/min and in normal active female is 29ml/kg/min. Previous studies shows significant lower values of mean VO2max/kg/min in obese people. Aims & Objective: To compare VO2max during tread mill exercise in young healthy adult male in relation to BMI. Materials and Methods: in the present study 50 healthy young adult male were selected of 18-25 yrs of age. The BMI of the subjects were then measured and their VO2max were calculated before and after 9 mins of treadmill exercise. The formula used to calculate VO2max is VO2max=111.33-(0.42x HR in bpm). RESULT: 50 medical students were selected and they gone through 9 min tread mill test during which heart rate and their VO2max were calculated and then compare with their BMI, which shows a significant negative relationship, with increase in BMI there is decrease in VO2max/kg. Conclusion: The present study shows that with increase in BMI there is decrease in VO2max/kg, which signifies that increase in BMI leads to decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness
