"We had large differences in respiration, in maximum oxygen uptake, in the results of muscle and adipose tissue biopsies," Dr. Bouchard said, referring to changes in endurance and ability to exercise at a high intensity as well as changes in body fat and in the sizes of different types of muscle fibers.
Walking speed, muscle strength, static posturography, and maximum oxygen uptake were measured in addition.
Ground truth exertion level was determined by the subject's percentage of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max).
CVD risk factors included: systolic blood pressure, maximum oxygen uptake, homeostasis model assessment, C-reactive protein (n = 748), total cholesterol/high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides.
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of maximum oxygen uptake determination in patients with sepsis and septic shock as a prognostic marker.
Sixty min of treadmill running at ∼70% of maximum oxygen uptake was performed at 0 1 h in the fasted exercise trial and 4 5 h in the postprandial exercise trial.
The maximum acceptable amount of two-wheeled containers collected during an 8-h working day was estimated using the energetic criterion of a maximum oxygen uptake of 30% VO2max.
Ventilation (V′E) as a function of CO2 output, and oxygen uptake (V′O2) as a function of log10V′E, define cardio-respiratory efficiency, although few data compare efficiency with maximum oxygen uptake (V′O2max), or consider reproducibility.
Radak et al. [78] showed that in rats, exercise training at 75% of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) for 8 weeks resulted in a significant reduction in ROS production in the liver compared with non-exercised animals.
Third, on a separate day the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) of each subject was estimated [13] by using a continuous incremental test until exhaustion on a friction-loaded cycle ergometer (Monark Ergomedic 818E, Varberg, Sweden).
Pearson's correlation coefficient, VO2max = maximum oxygen uptake, HR = heart rate.
