A COMPARISON OF NON-EXERCISE AND EXERCISE TEST FOR ESTIMATING VO2MAX IN UNTRAINED WOMEN
Keywords:
VO2max, Prediction of maximum oxygen uptake, Oxygen ConsumptionAbstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) between program polar fitness test via the Polar RS800CX heart rate monitor watch and Astrand-Rhyming cycle ergometer test. The participants were 38 healthy untrained women volunteers with age 19.9±0.83 y, height 159.4±5.03 cm, weight 59.3±11.81 kg, respectively. The participants measured VO2max by using Polar RS800CX heart rate monitor and analyzed by the program polar fitness test (pVO2max) in supine position for 5 min. Then, they were measured VO2max immediately by using an Astrand-Rhyming cycle ergometer test (aVO2max). The result revealed that the mean for pVO2max and aVO2max were 39.8±6.58 mL·kg-1·min-1 and 41.1±3.03 mL·kg-1·min-1, respectively, which were not significantly different (p > 0.05). The correlation coefficient of pVO2max versus aVO 2max were r = 0.521 (p < 0.05), SEE = 5.69 mL·kg-1·min-1. In conclusion, the polar fitness test in the present study is recommended for estimating VO2max in healthy untrained women. However, before using the program polar fitness test, it should be study the instruction of the process for effective testing.
