Abstract des Autors
To compare the oxygen cost of submaximal and maximal arm and leg exercise, ten healthy men (mean age 28 years) underwent multistage arm and leg ergometer tests using standard open circuit calorimetry. VO2 during arm exercise was greater than leg exercise at any given work load. Peak work load during arm work (675) was only 55 of the peak work load during leg work (1,230 ). VO2 max during arm work (10.5 mets) was 80 of the VO2 max during leg work (13.2 mets). Since arm performance tends to be a poor predictor of leg performance and vice versa, arm ergometry appears to be the preferred exercise mode for the functional evaluation of select patients.
