LAB4- Submaximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2) Testing Flashcards
submaximal oxygen uptake (VO2) testing
estimation of VO2 max
-using YMCA cycle ergometer test
submaximal VO2 testing is a method for what
estimating cardiovascular endurance without having the client use maximal effort
a submaximal test never has a client go over ____% of age-predicted HR max
85%
what do many submaximal tests use to estimate VO2 max
HR
-because of the strong linear relationship between HR + VO2
collected HR data is used to estimate VO2 max via what 2 methods
-graphing method
-equation method
what do graphing method + equation method have in common
boly rely on relationship between HR + VO2
is submaximal VO2 testing or VO2 max testing more accurate
VO2 max testing is more accurate
-but often times submax tests are more practical than max tests because they are safer + quicker to administer

are all submaximal tests created to estimate VO2
no

-YMCA step test
-6 minute walk test
4 assumptions for submaximal tests
- steady stage HR is achieved during each interval (stage of GXT or single stage)
- linear relationship between HR + VO2
- equal mechanical efficiency for everyone
- accurate age-predicted HR max equation
age-predicted HR max equation
VO2 max = 220 - age
____ is a good predictor of VO2 max
HR
____% possibility of error depending on which prediction equations are used
5-15%
____ coincides well with VO2 max
HR max
Fick equation
VO2 = cardiac output x a-VO2 difference
why is HR used to estimate VO2?
reference Fick equation: VO2 = Q x a-VO2 diff
-because SV and a-VO2 difference max out before 60% of maximal effort
-the only component increase VO2 after that point is HR
