Abstract
The predictability of maximal oxygen intake (VO2max) from heart rate response, exercise workload performed during submaximal arm ergometry and selected physical characteristics was evaluated in 22 college males, 18-25 years of age. Maximal oxygen intake during a Bruce protocol treadmill test and the oxygen consumptions during arm ergometry at heart rates below 170 bpm were determined via open-circuit calorimetry using a Sensormedics Horizon II metabolic cart. Regression analysis revealed that age, body weight, exercise heart rate, and workload performed during arm ergometry were the most significant predictors of VO2max. A multiple regression equation of: VO2 = 4.72 - .0275 Age + .0016 Wt - .0135 Hr + .00192 Wl was constructed using these variables to predict VO2max in liters/min, with an R = .058 (p < .05), and the standard of error of prediction of .342 liters/min. These results would indicate that an arm ergometry field test would be an acceptable predictor of VO2max for college males who are unable to ambulate. Verf.-Referat
