THE COMPARISON OF OXYGEN CONSUMPTION BETWEEN SPOT MARCHING EXERCISE TESTING WITH AND WITHOUT ARM SWING
Keywords:
Oxygen consumption / Exercise / Spot marching exercise testingAbstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the oxygen consumption between the Spot marching exercise testing with and without arm swing. Methods: Quantitative Research and balance randomized crossover design. Eleven healthy males (BMI = 22.4 ± 1.2 kg.m-2; age 20-25 years) were recruited to participate in this study. All participants were randomized by a computer-generated randomization sequence to complete one of two exercise tests first (the Spot marching exercise testing with arm swing and the Spot marching exercise testing without arm swing) and then followed by another test. The testing interval between the tests was at least 24 hours. Oxygen consumption was measured for each exercise testing for 6 minutes using gas analyzer (Cortex Biophysik, Metalyzer). Data were analyzed using paired t-test. Statistical significance was accepted when P-value < 0.05. Results: The results show the total oxygen consumption (787.7 ± 108.9 L) and end-exercise oxygen consumption (2.43 ± 0.09 L.min-2) in the Spot marching exercise testing with arm swing were significantly higher than the Spot marching exercise testing without arm swing (total oxygen consumption = 717.6 ± 94.9 L and end-exercise oxygen consumption = 2.29 ± 0.09 L.min-2) (P = 0.001 and 0.019, respectively). Conclusions: This study revealed that the oxygen consumption in the Spot marching exercise testing with arm swing was higher than the Spot marching exercise testing without arm swing.
