Prediction of maximal oxygen consumption from body mass, height and body surface area in young sedentary subjects.
The study was aimed to establish prediction norms for maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) from age, body mass and body surface area (BSA) in young sedentary subjects of Kolkata, India. Students of 20-24 years (male = 40 and female = 40) were recruited by simple random sampling from University of Calcutta, Kolkata. Thirty participants from each sex were further randomly alloted to the "study group" a...

متن کاملQuantitative genetics of maximal oxygen consumption in a garter snake.
Broad-sense heritabilities and genetic correlations of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), blood hemoglobin levels, and ventricle mass were estimated in a natural population of snakes. Traits were measured for six or fewer presumed full-sibling offspring from each of 45 wild-caught gravid garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). VO2max was highly reproducible between replicate trial days (r = 0.88...
متن کاملOxygen Consumption at 30 W of Exercise Is Surrogate for Peak Oxygen Consumption in Evaluation of Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Young-Adult African-American Females
Body mass index (BMI) is negatively correlated with cardiorespiratory fitness, measured by maximal or peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). VO2peak measurements require heavy aerobic exercise to near exhaustion which increases the potential for adverse cardiovascular events. This study tests the hypothesis that VO2 measured at a fixed submaximal workload of 30 W is a surrogate for VO2peak. We stud...
