Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Black, Nate E.; Vehrs, Pat R.; Fellingham, Gilbert W.; George, James D.; Hager, Ron – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a treadmill walk-jog-run exercise test previously validated in adults and physical activity questionnaire data to estimate maximum oxygen consumption (VO[subscript 2]max) in boys (n = 62) and girls (n = 66) aged 12 to 17 years old. Methods: Data were collected from Physical Activity…

Do Individuals with Intellectual Disability Have a Lower Peak Heart Rate and Maximal Oxygen Uptake?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hilgenkamp, Thessa Irena Maria; Baynard, Tracy – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2018
Background: Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) have very low physical activity and low peak oxygen uptake (VO[subscript 2peak]), potentially explained by physiologically lower peak heart rates (HR[subscript peak]). Method: The present authors performed a retrospective analysis of a large data set of individuals with intellectual…

Bennie, Jason A.; Wiesner, Glen H.; Vergeer, Ineke; Kolbe-Alexander, Tracy L.; De Cocker, Katrien; Alexander, Chris; Biddle, Stuart J. H. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2018
Purpose: There is currently no standardized testing protocol for assessing clients' fitness/health within the Australian fitness industry. This study examined the perceptions of the feasibility of using a standardized testing protocol among Australian fitness industry professionals. Method: In 2014, 1,206 registered fitness industry professionals…

Effect of Semirecumbent and Upright Body Position on Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

An Accurate VO[subscript 2]max Nonexercise Regression Model for 18-65-Year-Old Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bradshaw, Danielle I.; George, James D.; Hyde, Annette; LaMonte, Michael J.; Vehrs, Pat R.; Hager, Ronald L.; Yanowitz, Frank G. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2005
The purpose of this study was to develop a regression equation to predict maximal oxygen uptake (VO[subscript 2]max) based on nonexercise (N-EX) data. All participants (N = 100), ages 18-65 years, successfully completed a maximal graded exercise test (GXT) to assess VO[subscript 2]max (M = 39.96 mL[middle dot]kg[superscript -1][middle…
