da Cruz, Carlos Janssen Gomes; Porto, Luiz Guilherme Grossi; Molina, Guilherme Eckhardt – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The heart rate variability threshold (HRVT) is a useful and inexpensive alternative to estimate the ventilatory threshold (VT). However, its validity in women remains underexplored. We investigated the agreement between HRVT and VT in young women and the influence of cardiac parasympathetic status and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Sixty-one…

Matthews, Evan L.; Horvat, Fiona M.; Phillips, David A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The YMCA step test uses a prescribed step height which is difficult in a telehealth setting. Examine a modification of the YMCA step test allowing for the use of preexisting in-home objects of variable height as the "step" in a virtual environment. Young healthy participants (n = 40) performed step tests with a small and large object of…

Bonafiglia, Jacob T.; Sawula, Laura J.; Gurd, Brendon J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The purpose of this study was to determine if the counting talk test can be used to discern whether an individual is exercising above or at/below maximal lactate steady state. Twenty-two participants completed VO[subscript 2]peak and counting talk test incremental step tests followed by an endurance test at 65% of work rate at VO[subscript 2]peak…

Jimmy, Gerda; Dossegger, Alain; Seiler, Roland; Mader, Urs – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2012
The purpose of the current study was to determine metabolic thresholds and subsequent activity intensity cutoff points for the ActiGraph GT1M with various epochs spanning from 5 to 60 sec in young children. Twenty-two children, aged 4 to 9 years, performed 10 different activities including locomotion and play activities. Energy expenditure was…

Lee, C. Matthew; Gorelick, Mark – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2011
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Smarthealth watch (Salutron, Inc., Fremont, California, USA), a heart rate monitor that includes a wristwatch without an accompanying chest strap. Twenty-five individuals participated in 3-min periods of standing, 2.0 mph walking, 3.5 mph walking, 4.5 mph jogging, and 6.0 mph running.…

Scott, Alexander; Antonishen, Kevin; Johnston, Chris; Pearce, Terri; Ryan, Michael; Sheel, A. William; McKenzie, Don C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
The study was designed to determine the effect of upright-posture (UP) versus semirecumbent (SR) cycling on commonly used measures of maximal and submaximal exercise capacity. Nine healthy, untrained men (M age = 27 years, SD = 4.8 years) underwent steady-state submaximal aerobic testing followed by a ramped test to determine maximal oxygen…

Scruggs, Philip W.; Beveridge, Sandy K.; Clocksin, Brian D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
The relation and agreement of tri-axial accelerometry and heart rate telemetry in measuring moderate to vigorous physical activity were examined in association to behavioral observation during 1st- and 2nd-grade physical education. In Study 1, physical activity measures of heart rate and behavioral observation were collected on 346 participants…
