The aims of the present study were: (1) to assess aerobic metabolism in paraplegic (P) athletes (spinal lesion level, T4–L3)
by means of peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) and ventilatory threshold (VT), and (2) to determine the nature of exercise limitation in these athletes by means of cardioventilatory
responses at peak exercise. Eight P athletes underwent conventional spirographic measurements and then performed an incremental
wheelchair exercise on an adapted treadmill. Ventilatory data were collected every minute using an automated metabolic system:
ventilation (l · min−1), oxygen uptake (V˙O2, l · min−1, ml · min−1 · kg−1), carbon dioxide production (V˙CO2, ml · min−1), respiratory exchange ratio, breathing frequency and tidal volume. Heart rate (HR, beats · min−1) was collected with the aid of a standard electrocardiogram. V˙O2peak was determined using conventional criteria. VT was determined by the breakpoint in the V˙CO2−V˙O2 relationship, and is expressed as the absolute VT (V˙O2, ml · min−1 · kg−1) and relative VT (percentage of V˙O2peak). Spirometric values and cardioventilatory responses at rest and at peak exercise allowed the measurement of ventilatory
reserve (VR), heart rate reserve (HRr), heart rate response (HRR), and O2 pulse (O2 P). Results showed a V˙O2peak value of 40.6 (2.5) ml · min−1 · kg−1, an absolute VT detected at 23.1 (1.5) ml · min−1 · kg−1
V˙O2 and a relative VT at 56.4 (2.2)% V˙O2peak. HRr [15.8 (3.2) beats · min−1], HRR [48.6 (4.3) beat · l−1], and O2 P [0.23 (0.02) ml · kg−1 · beat−1] were normal, whereas VR at peak exercise [42.7 (2.4)%] was increased. As wheelchair exercise excluded the use of an able-bodied
(AB) control group, we compared our V˙O2peak and VT results with those for other P subjects and AB controls reported in the literature, and we compared our cardioventilatory
responses with those for respiratory and cardiac patients. The low V˙O2peak values obtained compared with subject values obtained during an arm-crank exercise may be due to a reduced active muscle
mass. Absolute VT was somewhat comparable to that of AB subjects, mainly due to the similar muscle mass involved in wheelchair
and arm-crank exercise by P and AB subjects, respectively. The increased VR, as reported in patients with chronic heart failure,
suggested that P athletes exhibited cardiac limitation at peak exercise, and this contributed to the lower V˙O2peak measured in these subjects.

The present experiment was designed to study the importance of strength and muscle mass as factors limiting maximal oxygen
uptake (V˙O2
max
) in wheelchair subjects. Thirteen paraplegic subjects [mean age 29.8 (8.7) years] were studied during continuous incremental
exercises until exhaustion on an arm-cranking ergometer (AC), a wheelchair ergometer (WE) and motor-driven treadmill (TM).
Lean arm volume (LAV) was estimated using an anthropometric method based upon the measurement of various circumferences of
the arm and forearm. Maximal strength (MVF) was measured while pushing on the rim of the wheelchair for three positions of
the hand on the rim (−30°, 0° and +30°). The results indicate that paraplegic subjects reached a similar V˙O2
max
[1.23 (0.34) l · min−1, 1.25 (0.38) l · min−1, 1.22 (0.18) l · min−1 for AC, TM and WE, respectively] and V˙O2
max
/body mass [19.7 (5.2) ml · min−1 · kg−1, 19.5 (6.14) ml · min−1 · kg−1, 19.18 (4.27) ml · min−1 · kg−1 for AC, TM and WE, respectively on the three ergometers. Maximal heart rate f
c
max
during the last minute of AC (173 (17) beats · min−1], TM [168 (14) beats · min−1], and WE [165 (16) beats · min−1], were correlated, but f
c
max
was significantly higher for AC than for TM (P<0.03). There were significant correlations between MVF and LAV (P<0.001) and between the MVF data obtained at different angles of the hand on the rim [311.9 (90.1) N, 313.2 (81.2) N, 257.1
(71) N, at −30°, 0° and +30°, respectively]. There was no correlation between V˙O2
max
and LAV or MVF. The relatively low values of f
c
max
suggest that V˙O2
max
was, at least in part, limited by local aerobic factors instead of central cardiovascular factors. On the other hand, the
lack of a significant correlation between V˙O2
max
and MVF or muscle mass was not in favour of muscle strength being the main factor limiting V˙O2
max
in our subjects.

This study compared the cardiorespiratory responses of eight healthy women (mean age 30.25 years) to submaximal exercise
on land (LTm) and water treadmills (WTm) in chest-deep water (Aquaciser). In addition, the effects of two different water
temperatures were examined (28 and 36°C). Each exercise test consisted of three consecutive 5-min bouts at 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 km · h−1. Oxygen consumption (V˙O2) and heart rate (HR), measured using open-circuit spirometry and telemetry, respectively, increased linearly with increasing
speed both in water and on land. At 3.5 km · h−1
V˙O2 was similar across procedures [χ = 0.6 (0.05) l · min−1]. At 4.5 and 5.5 km · h−1
V˙O2 was significantly higher in water than on land, but there was no temperature effect (WTm: 0.9 and 1.4, respectively; LTm:
0.8 and 0.9 l · min−1, respectively). HR was significantly higher in WTm at 36°C compared to WTm at 28°C at all speeds, and compared to LTm at
4.5 and 5.5 km · h−1 (P ≤ 0.003). The HR-V˙O2 relationship showed that at a V˙O2 of 0.9 l · min−1, HR was higher in water at 36°C (115 beats · min−1) than either on land (100 beats · min−1) or in water at 28°C (99 beats · min−1). The Borg scale of perceived exertion showed that walking in water at 4.5 and 5.5 km · h−1 was significantly harder than on land (WTm: 11.4 and 14, respectively; LTm: 9.9 and 11, respectively; P ≤ 0.001). These cardiorespiratory changes occurred despite a slower cadence in water (the mean difference at all speeds was
27 steps/min). Thus, walking in chest-deep water yields higher energy costs than walking at similar speeds on land. This data
has implications for therapists working in hydrotherapy pools.

The purposes of this study were to determine whether running economy (RE) is adversely affected following intense interval
bouts of 10 × 400-m running, and whether there is an interaction effect between RE and recovery duration during the workouts.
Twelve highly trained male endurance athletes [maximal oxygen consumption; V˙O2
max
=72.5 (4.3) ml·kg−1·min−1; mean (SD)] performed three interval running workouts of 10 × 400 m with a minimum of 4 days between runs. Recovery duration
between the repetitions was randomly assigned at 60, 120 or 180 s. The velocity for each 400-m run was determined from a treadmill
V˙O2
max
test. The average running velocity was 357.9 (9.0) m · min−1. Following the workout, the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) increased significantly (P < 0.01) as recovery duration between the 400-m repetitions decreased (14.4, 16.1, and 17.7 at 180s, 120s, and 60 s recovery,
respectively). Prior to and following each workout, RE was measured at speeds of 200 and 268 m · min−1. Changes in RE from pre- to post-workout, as well as heart rate (HR) and respiratory exchange ratio (R) were similar for the three recovery conditions. When averaged across conditions, oxygen consumption (V˙O2) increased significantly (P < 0.01) from pre- to post-test (from 38.5 to 40.5 ml · kg−1 · min−1 at 200 m · min−1, and from 53.1 to 54.5 ml · kg−1 · min−1 at 268 m · min−1, respectively). HR increased (from 124 to 138, and from 151 to 157 beats · min−1 respectively) and R decreased (from 0.90 to 0.78, and from 0.93 to 0.89, respectively) at 200 and 268 m · min−1, respectively (P < 0.01). This study showed that RE can be perturbed after a high-intensity interval workout and that the changes in V˙O2, HR and R were independent of the recovery duration between the repetitions.

This study examined the thermoregulatory responses of men (group M) and women (group F) to uncompensable heat stress. In
total, 13 M [mean (SD) age 31.8 (4.7) years, mass 82.7 (12.5) kg, height␣1.79␣(0.06) m, surface area to mass ratio 2.46␣(0.18) m2 · kg−1 · 10−2, Dubois surface area 2.01 (0.16) m2, %body fatness 14.6 (3.9)%, V˙O2peak 49.0 (4.8) ml · kg−1 · min−1] and 17 F [23.2 (4.2) years, 62.4 (7.7) kg, 1.65 (0.07) m, 2.71 (0.14) m2 · kg−1 · 10−2, 1.68 (0.13) m2, 20.2 (4.8)%, 43.2 (6.6) ml · kg−1 · min−1, respectively] performed light intermittent exercise (repeated intervals of 15 min of walking at 4.0 km · h−1 followed by 15 min of seated rest) in the heat (40°C, 30% relative humidity) while wearing nuclear, biological, and chemical
protective clothing (0.29 m2 ·°C · W−1 or 1.88 clo, Woodcock vapour permeability coefficient 0.33 i
m). Group F consisted of eight non-users and nine users of oral contraceptives tested during the early follicular phase of
their menstrual cycle. Heart rates were higher for F throughout the session reaching 166.7 (15.9) beats · min−1 at 105 min (n = 13) compared with 145.1 (14.4) beats · min−1 for M. Sweat rates and evaporation rates from the clothing were lower and average skin temperature () was higher for F. The increase in rectal temperature (T
re) was significantly faster for the F, increasing 1.52 (0.29)°C after 105 min compared with an increase of 1.37 (0.29)°C for
M. Tolerance times were significantly longer for M [142.9 (24.5) min] than for F [119.3 (17.3) min]. Partitional calorimetric
estimates of heat storage (S) revealed that although the rate of S was similar between genders [42.1 (6.6) and 46.1 (9.7) W · m−2 for F and M, respectively], S expressed per unit of total mass was significantly lower for F [7.76 (1.44) kJ · kg−1] compared with M [9.45 (1.26) kJ · kg−1]. When subjects were matched for body fatness (n = 8 F and 8 M), tolerance times [124.5 (14.7) and 140.3 (27.4) min for F and M, respectively] and S [8.67 (1.44) and 9.39 (1.05) kJ · kg−1 for F and M, respectively] were not different between the genders. It was concluded that females are at a thermoregulatory
disadvantage compared with males when wearing protective clothing and exercising in a hot environment. This disadvantage can
be attributed to the lower specific heat of adipose versus non-adipose tissue and a higher percentage body fatness.

Fifteen young adult Singaporean male physical education students maximum oxygen consumption [(V˙O2max) = 56 (4.7) ml · kg−1 · min−1] performed three prolonged runs in a counterbalanced design. The running bouts varied in time (40 vs 60 min) and intensity
(70% vs 80% V˙O2
max
). Each prolonged run was separated by 7 days. The running economy (RE) at 10.8 km · h−1 during 10-min running bouts was measured before (RE1) and after (RE2) each prolonged run. A control study involved monitoring
RE at 10.8 km · h−1 before and after 60 min rest. There were no differences between RE1 and RE2 values during the control run. However, there
were differences between RE1 and RE2 values when separated by a prolonged run. For example, the mean (SD) changes in oxygen
consumption (ml · kg−1 · min−1) values were 38.2 (2.5) versus 40.1 (2.6) (40 min at 80% V˙O2
max
), 38.9 (2.8) versus 41.5 (2.6) (60 min at 70% V˙O2
max
), and 39.0 (3.1) versus 42.7 (2.9) (60 min at 80% V˙O2
max
; P < 0.01). The results of this investigation support the hypothesis that RE deteriorates during prolonged running, and that
the magnitude of the deterioration in RE increases with both increasing exercise intensity and duration.

Eight male endurance runners [mean ± (SD): age 25 (6) years; height 1.79 (0.06) m; body mass 70.5 (6.0) kg; % body fat 12.5
(3.2); maximal oxygen consumption (V˙O2max 62.9 (1.7) ml · kg−1 · min−1] performed an interval training session, preceded immediately by test 1, followed after 1 h by test 2, and after 72 h by
test 3. The training session was six 800-m intervals at 1 km · h−1 below the velocity achieved at V˙O2max with 3 min of recovery between each interval. Tests 1, 2 and 3 were identical, and included collection of expired gas, measurement
of ventilatory frequency (f
v
), heart rate (f
c), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and blood lactate concentration ([La−]B) during the final 5 min of 15 min of running at 50% of the velocity achieved at V˙O2max (50% −V˙O2max).␣Oxygen uptake (V˙O2), ventilation (V˙
E
), and respiratory exchange ratio (R) were subsequently determined from duplicate expired gas collections. Body mass and plasma volume changes were measured preceding
and immediately following the training session, and before tests 1–3. Subjects ingested water immediately following the training
session, the volume of which was determined from the loss of body mass during the session. Repeated measures analysis of variance
with multiple comparison (Tukey) was used to test differences between results. No significant differences in body mass or
plasma volume existed between the three test stages, indicating that the differences recorded for the measured parameters
could not be attributed to changes in body mass or plasma volume between tests, and that rehydration after the interval training
session was successful. A significant (P < 0.05) increase was found from test 1 to test 2 [mean (SD)] for V˙O2 [2.128 (0.147) to 2.200 (0.140) 1 · min−1], f
c [125 (17) to 132 (16) beats · min−1], and RPE [9 (2) to 11 (2)]. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was found for submaximal R [0.89 (0.03) to 0.85 (0.04)]. These results suggest that alterations in V˙O2 during moderate-intensity, constant-velocity running do occur following heavy-intensity endurance running training, and that
this is due to factors in addition to changed substrate metabolism towards greater fat utilisation, which could explain only
31% of the increase in V˙O2.

The initial responses to cold-water immersion, evoked by stimulation of peripheral cold receptors, include tachycardia, a
reflex inspiratory gasp and uncontrollable hyperventilation. When immersed naked, the maximum responses are initiated in water
at 10°C, with smaller responses being observed following immersion in water at 15°C. Habituation of the initial responses
can be achieved following repeated immersions, but the specificity of this response with regard to water temperature is not
known. Thirteen healthy male volunteers were divided into a control (C) group (n = 5) and a habituation (H) group (n = 8). Each subject undertook two 3-min head-out immersions in water at 10°C wearing swimming trunks. These immersions took
place at a corresponding time of day with 4 days separating the two immersions. In the intervening period the C group were
not exposed to cold water, while the H group undertook another six, 3-min, head-out immersions in water at 15°C. Respiratory
rate (f
R), inspiratory minute volume (V˙
I) and heart rate (f
H) were measured continuously throughout each immersion. Following repeated immersions in water at 15°C, the f
R, V˙
I and f
H responses of the H group over the first 30 s of immersion were reduced (P < 0.01) from 33.3 breaths · min−1, 50.5 l · min−1 and 114 beats · min−1 respectively, to 19.8 breaths · min−1, 26.4 l · min−1 and 98 beats · min−1, respectively. In water at 10°C these responses were reduced (P < 0.01) from 47.3 breaths · min−1, 67.6 l · min−1 and 128 beats · min−1 to 24.0 breaths · min−1, 29.5 l · min−1 and 109 beats · min−1, respectively over a corresponding period of immersion. Similar reductions were observed during the last 2.5 min of immersions.
The initial responses of the C group were unchanged. It is concluded that habituation of the cold shock response can be achieved
by immersion in warmer water than that for which protection is required. This suggests that repeated submaximal stimulation
of the cutaneous cold receptors is sufficient to attenuate the responses to more maximal stimulation.

The energy cost per unit of distance (C
s, kilojoules per metre) of the front-crawl, back, breast and butterfly strokes was assessed in 20 elite swimmers. At sub-maximal
speeds (v), C
s was measured dividing steady-state oxygen consumption (V˙O2) by the speed (v, metres per second). At supra-maximal v, C
s was calculated by dividing the total metabolic energy (E, kilojoules) spent in covering 45.7, 91.4 and 182.9 m by the distance. E was obtained as: E = E
an+V˙O2max
t
p−V˙O2max(1−e−(
t
p/)), where E
an was the amount of energy (kilojoules) derived from anaerobic sources, V˙O2max litres per second was the maximal oxygen uptake, α (=20.9 kJ · l O2
−1) was the energy equivalent of O2, τ (24 s) was the time constant assumed for the attainment of V˙O2max at muscle level at the onset of exercise, and t
p (seconds) was the performance time. The lactic acid component was assumed to increase exponentially with t
p to an asymptotic value of 0.418 kJ · kg−1 of body mass for t
p ≥ 120 s. The lactic acid component of E
an was obtained from the net increase of lactate concentration after exercise (Δ[La]b) assuming that, when Δ[La]b = 1 mmol · l−1 the net amount of metabolic energy released by lactate formation was 0.069 kJ · kg−1. Over the entire range of v, front crawl was the least costly stroke. For example at 1 m · s−1, C
s amounted, on average, to 0.70, 0.84, 0.82 and 0.124 kJ · m−1 in front crawl, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke, respectively; at 1.5 m · s−1, C
s was 1.23, 1.47, 1.55 and 1.87 kJ · m−1 in the four strokes, respectively. The C
s was a continuous function of the speed in all of the four strokes. It increased exponentially in crawl and backstroke, whereas
in butterfly C
s attained a minimum at the two lowest v to increase exponentially at higher v. The C
s in breaststroke was a linear function of the v, probably because of the considerable amount of energy spent in this stroke for accelerating the body during the pushing
phase so as to compensate for the loss of v occurring in the non-propulsive phase.

The effects of whole-body exposure to ambient temperatures of −15°C and 23°C on selected performance-related physiological
variables were investigated in elite nonasthmatic cross-country skiers. At an ambient temperature of −15°C we also studied
the effects of the selective β2-adrenergic agonist Salbutamol (0.4 mg × 3) which was administered 10 min before the exercise test. Eight male cross-country
skiers with known maximal oxygen uptakes (V˙O2
max
) of more than 70 ml · kg−1 · min−1 participated in the study. Oxygen uptake (V˙O2), heart rate (f
c), blood lactate concentration ([La−]b) and time to exhaustion were measured during controlled submaximal and maximal running on a treadmill in a climatic chamber.
Lung function measured as forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) was recorded immediately before the warm-up period and at the conclusion of the exercise protocol. Submaximal V˙O2 and [La−]b at the two highest submaximal exercise intensities were significantly higher at −15°C than at 23°C. Time to exhaustion was
significantly shorter in the cold environment. However, no differences in V˙O2
max
or f
c were observed. Our results would suggest that exercise stress is higher at submaximal exercise intensities in a cold environment
and support the contention that aerobic capacity is not altered by cold exposure. Furthermore, we found that after Salbutamol
inhalation FEV1 was significantly higher than after placebo administration. However, the inhaled β2-agonist Salbutamol did not influence submaximal and maximal V˙O2, f
c, [La−]b or time to exhaustion in the elite, nonasthmatic cross-country skiers we studied. Thus, these results did not demonstrate
any ergogenic effect of the β2-agonist used.

This study investigated the effects on running economy (RE) of ingesting either no fluid or an electrolyte solution with
or without 6% carbohydrate (counterbalanced design) during 60-min running bouts at 80% maximal oxygen consumption (V˙O2max). Tests were undertaken in either a thermoneutral (22–23°C; 56–62% relative humidity, RH) or a hot and humid natural environment
(Singapore: 25–35°C; 66–77% RH). The subjects were 15 young adult male Singaporeans [V˙O2max = 55.5 (4.4 SD) ml kg−1 min−1]. The RE was measured at 3 m s−1 [65 (6)% V˙O2max] before (RE1) and after each prolonged run (RE2). Fluids were administered every 2 min, at an individual rate determined
from prior tests, to maintain body mass (group mean = 17.4 ml min−1). The V˙O2 during RE2 was higher (P < 0.05) than that during the RE1 test for all treatments, with no differences between treatments (ANOVA). The mean increase
in V˙O2 from RE1 to RE2 ranged from 3.4 to 4.7 ml kg−1 min−1 across treatments. In conclusion, the deterioration in RE at 3 m s−1 (65% V˙O2max) after 60 min of running at 80% V˙O2max appears to occur independently of whether fluid is ingested and regardless of whether the fluid contains carbohydrates or
electrolytes, in both a thermoneutral and in a hot, humid environment.

A group of 12 healthy non-smoking men [mean age 22.3 (SD 1.1) years], performed an incremental exercise test. The test started
at 30 W, followed by increases in power output (P) of 30 W every 3 min, until exhaustion. Blood samples were taken from an antecubital vein for determination of plasma concentration
lactate [La−]pl and acid-base balance variables. Below the lactate threshold (LT) defined in this study as the highest P above which a sustained increase in [La−]pl was observed (at least 0.5 mmol · l−1 within 3 min), the pulmonary oxygen uptake (V˙O2) measured breath-by-breath, showed a linear relationship with P. However, at P above LT [in this study 135 (SD 30) W] there was an additional accumulating increase in V˙O2 above that expected from the increase in P alone. The magnitude of this effect was illustrated by the difference in the final P observed at maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) during the incremental exercise test (P
max,obs at V˙O2max) and the expected power output at V˙O2max(P
max,exp at V˙O2max) predicted from the linear V˙O2-P relationship derived from the data collected below LT. The P
max,obs at V˙O2max amounting to 270 (SD 19) W was 65.1 (SD 35) W (19%) lower (P<0.01) than the P
max,exp at V˙O2max
. The mean value of V˙O2max reached at P
max,obs amounted to 3555 (SD 226) ml · min−1 which was 572 (SD 269) ml · min−1 higher (P<0.01) than the V˙O2 expected at this P, calculated from the linear relationship between V˙O2 and P derived from the data collected below LT. This fall in locomotory efficiency expressed by the additional increase in V˙O2, amounting to 572 (SD 269) ml O2 · min−1, was accompanied by a significant increase in [La−]pl amounting to 7.04 (SD 2.2) mmol · l−1, a significant increase in blood hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]b) to 7.4 (SD 3) nmol · l−1 and a significant fall in blood bicarbonate concentration to 5.78 (SD 1.7) mmol · l−1, in relation to the values measured at the P of the LT. We also correlated the individual values of the additional V˙O2 with the increases (Δ) in variables [La−]pl and Δ[H+]b. The Δ values for [La−]pl and Δ[H+]b were expressed as the differences between values reached at the P
max,obs at V˙O2max and the values at LT. No significant correlations between the additional V˙O2 and Δ[La−]pl on [H+]b were found. In conclusion, when performing an incremental exercise test, exceeding P corresponding to LT was accompanied by a significant additional increase in V˙O2 above that expected from the linear relationship between V˙O2 and P occurring at lower P. However, the magnitude of the additional increase in V˙O2 did not correlate with the magnitude of the increases in [La−]pl and [H+]b reached in the final stages of the incremental test.

Using 23 elite male athletes (8 cyclists, 7 kayakists, and 8 swimmers), the contribution of the anaerobic energy system to
the time to exhaustion (t
lim) at the minimal exercise intensity (speed or power) at which maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2
max) occurs (I
V˙O2
max) was assessed by analysing the relationship between the t
lim and the accumulated oxygen deficit (AOD). After 10-min warming up at 60% of V˙O2
max, the exercise intensity was increased so that each subject reached his I
V˙O2max
in 30 s and then continued at that level until he was exhausted. Pre-tests included a continuous incremental test with 2 min
steps for determining the I
V˙O2max
and a series of 5-min submaximal intensities to collect the data that would allow the estimation of the energy expenditure
at I
V˙O2max
. The AOD for the t
lim exercise was calculated as the difference between the above estimation and the accumulated oxygen uptake. The mean percentage
value of energy expenditure covered by anaerobic metabolism was 15.2 [(SD 6)%, range 8.9–24.1] with significant differences
between swimmers and kayakists (16.8% vs 11.5%, P≤0.05) and cyclists and kayakists (16.4% vs 11.5%, P≤0.05). Absolute AOD values ranged from 26.4 ml · kg−1 to 83.6 ml · kg−1 with a mean value of 45.9 (SD 18) ml · kg−1. Considering all the subjects, the t
lim was found to have a positive and significant correlation with AOD (r = 0.62, P≤0.05), and a negative and significant correlation with V˙O2
max (r = −0.46, P≤0.05). The data would suggest that the contribution of anaerobic processes during exercise performed at I
V˙O2max
should not be ignored when t
lim is used as a supplementary parameter to evaluate specific adaptation of athletes.

The purpose of this study was to develop a method to determine the power output at which oxygen uptake (V˙O2) during an incremental exercise test begins to rise non-linearly. A group of 26 healthy non-smoking men [mean age 22.1 (SD
1.4) years, body mass 73.6 (SD 7.4) kg, height 179.4 (SD 7.5) cm, maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) 3.726 (SD 0.363) l · min−1], experienced in laboratory tests, were the subjects in this study. They performed an incremental exercise test on a cycle
ergometer at a pedalling rate of 70 rev · min−1. The test started at a power output of 30 W, followed by increases amounting to 30 W every 3 min. At 5 min prior to the first
exercise intensity, at the end of each stage of exercise protocol, blood samples (1 ml each) were taken from an antecubital
vein. The samples were analysed for plasma lactate concentration [La]pl, partial pressure of O2 and CO2 and hydrogen ion concentration [H+]b. The lactate threshold (LT) in this study was defined as the highest power output above which [La−]pl showed a sustained increase of more than 0.5 mmol · l−1 · step−1. The V˙O2 was measured breath-by-breath. In the analysis of the change point (CP) of V˙O2 during the incremental exercise test, a two-phase model was assumed for the 3rd-min-data of each step of the test: X
i
=at
i
+b+ɛ
i
for i=1,2,…,T, and E(X
i
)>at
i
+b for i =T+1,…,n, where X
1, … , X
n
are independent and ɛ
i
∼N(0,σ2). In the first phase, a linear relationship between V˙O2 and power output was assumed, whereas in the second phase an additional increase in V˙O2 above the values expected from the linear model was allowed. The power output at which the first phase ended was called the
change point in oxygen uptake (CP-V˙O2). The identification of the model consisted of two steps: testing for the existence of CP and estimating its location. Both
procedures were based on suitably normalised recursive residuals. We showed that in 25 out of 26 subjects it was possible
to determine the CP-O2 as described in our model. The power output at CP-V˙O2 amounted to 136.8 (SD 31.3) W. It was only 11 W – non significantly – higher than the power output corresponding to LT. The
V˙O2 at CP-V˙O2 amounted to 1.828 (SD 0.356) l · min−1 was [48.9 (SD 7.9)% V˙O2
max
]. The [La−]pl at CP-V˙O2, amounting to 2.57 (SD 0.69) mmol · l−1 was significantly elevated (P<0.01) above the resting level [1.85 (SD 0.46) mmol · l−1], however the [H+]b at CP-V˙O2 amounting to 45.1 (SD 3.0) nmol · l−1, was not significantly different from the values at rest which amounted to 44.14 (SD 2.79) nmol · l−1. An increase of power output of 30 W above CP-V˙O2 was accompanied by a significant increase in [H+]b above the resting level (P=0.03).

The aim of the present study was to examine the physiological and mechanical factors which may be concerned in the increase
in energy cost during running in a fatigued state. A group of 15 trained triathletes ran on a treadmill at velocities corresponding
to their personal records over 3000m [mean 4.53 (SD 0.28) m · s−1] until they felt exhausted. The energy cost of running (C
R) was quantified from the net O2 uptake and the elevation of blood lactate concentration. Gas exchange was measured over 1 min firstly during the 3rd–4th min
and secondly during the last minute of the run. Blood samples were collected before and after the completion of the run. Mechanical
changes of the centre of mass were quantified using a kinematic arm. A significant mean increase [6.9 (SD 3.5)%, P < 0.001] in C
R from a mean of 4.4 (SD 0.4) J · kg−1 · m−1 to a mean of 4.7 (SD 0.4) J · kg−1 · m−1 was observed. The increase in the O2 demand of the respiratory muscles estimated from the increase in ventilation accounted for a considerable proportion [mean
25.2 (SD 10.4)%] of the increase in CR. A mean increase [17.0 (SD 26.0)%, P < 0.05] in the mechanical cost (C
M) from a mean of 2.36 (SD 0.23) J · kg−1 · m−1 to a mean of 2.74 (SD 0.55) J · kg−1 · m−1 was also noted. A significant correlation was found between C
R and C
M in the non-fatigued state (r = 0.68, P < 0.01), but not in the fatigued state (r = 0.25, NS). Furthermore, no correlations were found between the changes (from non-fatigued to fatigued state) in C
R and the changes in C
M suggesting that the increase in C
R is not solely dependent on the external work done per unit of distance. Since step frequency decreased slightly in the fatigued
state, the internal work would have tended to decrease slightly which would not be compatible with an increase in C
R. A stepwise regressions showed that the changes in C
R were linked (r = 0.77, P < 0.01) to the changes in the variability of step frequency and in the variability of potential cost suggesting that a large
proportion of the increase in C
R was due to an increase in the step variability. The underlying mechanisms of the relationship between C
R and step variability remains unclear.

The purpose of this study was to compare various methods and criteria used to identify the anaerobic threshold (AT), and
to correlate the AT obtained with each other and with running performance. Furthermore, a number of additional points throughout
the entire range of lactate concentrations [La−] were obtained and correlated with performance. A group of 19 runners [mean age 33.7 (SD 9.6) years, height 173 (SD 6.3)
cm, body mass 68.3 (SD 5.4) kg, maximal O2 uptake (V˙O2
max
) 55.2 (SD 5.9) ml · kg−1 · min−1] performed a maximal multistage treadmill test (1 km · h−1 every 3.5 min) with blood sampling at the end of each stage while running. All AT points selected (visual [La−], 4 mmol · l−1 [La−], 1 mmol · l−1 above baseline, log-log breakpoint, and 45° tangent to the exponential regression) were highly correlated one with another
and with performance (r > 0.90) even when there were many differences among the AT (P < 0.05). The additional points (ranging from 3 to 8 mmol · l−1 [La−], 1 to 6 mmol · l−1 [La−] above the baseline, and 30 to 70° tangent to the exponential curve of [La−]) were also highly correlated with performance (r > 0.90). These results failed to demonstrate a distinct AT because many points of the curve provided similar information.
Intercorrelations and correlations between AT and performance were, however, reduced when AT were expressed as the percentage
of maximal treadmill speed obtained at AT or percentage of V˙O2
max
. This would indicate that different attributes of aerobic performance (i.e. maximal aerobic power, running economy and endurance)
are measured when manipulating units. Thus, coaches should be aware of these results when they prescribe an intensity for
training and concentrate more on the physiological consequences of a chosen [La−] rather than on a “threshold”.

The purpose of this study was to describe the longitudinal development of running economy [defined as the oxygen uptake (V˙O2) at a submaximal running speed] in males and females from teenage to young adult age using data from the Amsterdam Growth
and Health Study. Submaximal V˙O2 (in ml · kg−1· min−1) was measured in 84 males and 98 females while they ran on a treadmill at a constant speed of 8 km · h−1 for 6 min at three different treadmill slopes (0%, 2.5% and 5%). This test was carried out six times, on the same subjects
at the ages of 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, and 27 years. The longitudinal development of running economy in males and females was
analysed using a two-way analysis of variance for repeated measurements. At all three slopes, a significant decrease in V˙O2 with increasing age was found for both males and females, implying a significant increase in running economy for both sexes.
Males showed significantly higher V˙O2 values than females at all ages measured and for all three slopes, suggesting that females have a significantly higher running
economy than males. In order to make a better comparison of the V˙O2 of individuals of different sizes, allometric models were used; power function ratios were constructed in which body mass
was expressed to an exponential power. Following this analysis the difference in submaximal V˙O2 and running economy between males and females appeared even larger.

The transient response of oxygen uptake (V˙O2) to submaximal exercise, known to be abnormal in patients with cardiovascular disorders, can be useful in assessing the functional
status of the cardiocirculatory system, however, a method for evaluating it accurately has not yet been established. As an
alternative approach to the conventional test at constant exercise intensity, we applied a random stimulus technique that
has been shown to provide relatively noise immune responses of system being investigated. In 27 patients with heart failure
and 24 age-matched control subjects, we imposed cycle exercise at 50 W intermittently according to a pseudo-random binary
(exercise-rest) sequence, while measuring breath-by-breath V˙O2. After determining the transfer function relating exercise intensity (W˙) to V˙O2 and attenuating the high frequency ranges (>6 exercise-rest cycles · min−1), we computed the high resolution band-limited (0–6 cycles · min−1) V˙O2 response (0–120 s) to a hypothetical step exercise. The V˙O2 response showed a longer time constant in the patients than in the control subjects [47 (SD 37) and 31 (SD 8) s, respectively,
P < 0.05]. Furthermore, the amplitude of the V˙O2 response after the initial response was shown to be significantly smaller in the patients than in the control subjects [176
(SD 50) and 267 (SD 54) ml · min−1 at 120 s]. The average amplitude over 120 s correlated well with peak V˙O2 (r = 0.73) and ΔV˙O2/ΔW˙ (r = 0.70), both of which are well-established indexes of exercise tolerance. The data indicated that our band-limited V˙O2
step response using random exercise was more markedly attenuated and delayed in the patients with heart failure than in the normal controls
and that it could be useful in quantifying the overall functional status of the cardiocirculatory system.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the separate and combined effects of a short-term aerobic training program
and hypohydration on tolerance during light exercise while wearing nuclear, biological, and chemical protective clothing in
the heat (40°C, 30% relative humidity). Males of moderate fitness [<50 ml · kg−1 · min−1 maximal O2 consumption (V˙O2
max
)] were tested while euhydrated or hypohydrated by ≈2% of body weight through exercise and fluid restriction the day preceding
the trials. Tests were conducted before and after either a 2-week program of daily aerobic training (1 h treadmill exercise
at 65% V˙O2
max
for 12 days; n = 8) or a control period (n = 7), which had no effect on any measured variable. The training increased V˙O2
max
by 6.5%, while heart rate (f
c) and the rectal temperature (T
re) rise decreased during exercise in a thermoneutral environment. In the heat, training resulted in a decreased skin temperature
and increased sweat rate, but did not affect f
c, T
re or tolerance time (TT). In both training and control groups, hypohydration significantly increased T
re and f
c and decreased the TT. It was concluded that the short-term aerobic training program had no benefit on exercise-heat tolerance
in this uncompensable heat stress environment.

The effect of a 3-week exercise programme on performance and economy of walking was analysed in 16 male patients with chronic
heart failure [mean age 51.8 (SD 6.9) years, height 174.9 (SD 6.3) cm, body mass 75.3 (SD 11.5) kg, ejection fraction 20.8
(SD 5.0)%]. They were submitted to a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer and a 6-min walking test on a treadmill
before and after the period of exercise training. The training programme consisted of interval cycle (five times a week for
15 min), and treadmill ergometer training (three times a week for 10 min) at approximately 70% cycling peak oxygen uptake
(O2peak) and supplementary exercises (three times a week for 20 min). Compared to the pre values cycling O2peak [11.9 (SD 2.9) vs 14.0 (SD 2.3) ml · kg–1 · min–1], maximal self paced walking speed [0.68 (SD 0.33) vs 1.16 (SD 0.30) m · s–1], and net walking power [2.16 (SD 0.89) vs 2.73 (SD 0.91) W · kg–1] had increased (P < 0.01) while net energy cost [3.31 (SD 0.66) vs 2.33 (SD 0.38) J · kg–1 · m–1] had decreased (P < 0.001) after the training period. Approximately 42% of the increase of walking speed resulted from a higher walking power
output, whereas approximately 58% corresponded to a positive effect on walking economy. The improvement in walking economy
was a function of an increase in walking velocity itself and a result of a more efficient walking technique. These results
would indicate that in patients with marked exercise intolerance, adequate exercise training programmes could contribute to
favourable metabolic changes with positive effects on the economy of motion.
