Abstract:

Background: Obesity is accumulation of excessive fat in adipose tissue due to which endurance is decreased leading to negative impact on cardiovascular endurance. The prevalence of obesity in females is more than in males that is 44.7%. Obesity leads to decrease in endurance and thus negative impact on cardiovascular endurance. VO2max is common measure of cardiopulmonary fitness. Endurance training leads to increased mitochondrial activity which decreases lactic acid accumulation at given VO2 and improving performance by enhancing fat oxidation. Fartlek training is a speed play which leads to

Abstract:

A number of submaximal step tests have been developed to predict maximal aerobic capacity. Because step height may influence biomechanical efficiency and heart rate, step tests based on subjects' stature may more accurately predict maximal aerobic capacity. Eighteen women performed the Queens College step test and a modified Queens College step test. The modified step test was performed with the height of the bench set even with the height of the foot at a knee angle of 90°. Analysis of the data indicated a lower recovery heart rate following this test ( p<.05). Further, correlations betwee

Abstract:

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) indicates cardiovascular endurance in evaluating overall health and physical performance. The CPX method is accurate, but accessibility is lower due to issues related to cost and complexity. For this reason, the Harvard Step Test and Queen's College Step Test are drawing interest. Step-based tests are influenced by factors such as leg length, requiring an investigation into the correlation between leg length and VO₂max estimation using these methods. This study investigates the influence of leg length on predicted VO₂max (pVO2max) determined through both the Harv

Introduction: Obesity may be defined as abnormal growth of adipose tissue due to an enlargement of fat cell size, increase in fat cell number or combination of both. It is often expressed in terms of BMI. Fartlek connotes speed play, which is a training method that combines continuous training with interval training. Fartlek training has shown to increase or maintain VO2 max and decrease RHR in athletes hence this study is conducted to see its effectiveness in obese population.

Background: The Queens College Step Test is used to determine aerobic fitness. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) is the maximum rate of forceful exhalation following full inspiration.

BACKGROUND Decrease in haemoglobin concentration in blood, with normal blood volume results in lower V̇ O2max and endurance performance. This may be due to the reduction of the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. Conversely, increase in haemoglobin concentration is associated with increased V̇ O2max and endurance capacity. Increase in endurance capacity is also proportional to the increase in the oxygen carrying capacity of blood.

The use of tech gadgets and transportation infrastructure may lead to a higher level of physical inactivity in children and adolescents, which has an impact on their physical fitness and academic performance. To encourage physical exercise and fitness, early intervention is required. Th

Abstract:

There is evidence to suggest that aerobic fitness levels among adults have declined markedly over the past 2 to 3 decades. Submaximal field measures of aerobic fitness, such as step tests, may now be seen as aversive by contemporary neophyte exercisers. In this study, a single-factor within-subjects (repeated measures) factorial design was used to compare three field measures of cardiorespiratory fitness among sedentary women: (a) the Queen’s College step test (QCST), (b) the Rockport 1-mile walk (RW), and (c) a nonexercise estimation of VO 2 max (NE). The sample consisted of 31 racially and e

Abstract:

Introduction: VO2max, a measure of the maximum oxygen uptake during physical exertion, is a critical indicator of cardiovascular fitness. Evaluating VO2max in young adults helps in understanding their fitness levels and guiding improvements. This study aimed to assess normal VO2max levels and investigate the relationships between oxygen saturation (SpO2) and VO2max, as well as between blood pressure and VO2max, in both male and female participants. Methods: A total of 93 students (45 males, 48 females) aged 18 to 25 years from Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, were selected through simple rand
