Key result
Treadmill walking resulted in an 8% greater maximal aerobic power than cycle ergometer exercise, which caused greater metabolic acidosis suggesting smaller muscle mass utilization.
Why the study?
How do cardiovascular, metabolic, and ventilatory responses compare between cycle ergometer exercise and treadmill walking in women?
Population
18 females between the ages of 17-40
Comparison
Cycle ergometer exercise at 30%, 60%, 80%, and… vs Treadmill walking at equivalent intensities
Design
Cross-sectional

Caution advised comparing VO2max across modalities in women; leaves open need for modality-specific norms in research and practice.

How do cardiovascular, metabolic, and ventilatory responses compare between cycle ergometer exercise and treadmill walking in women?
Cardiovascular responses to equivalent cycle ergometer and treadmill exercise are similar in women, but cycle ergometry induces greater metabolic acidosis, suggesting smaller muscle mass utilization.
Miles et al. (1980) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (exercise physiology) (n=18). Cycle ergometer exercise vs. Treadmill walking was evaluated on Maximal aerobic power (VO2max). Treadmill walking resulted in an 8% greater maximal aerobic power than cycle ergometer exercise, which caused greater metabolic acidosis suggesting smaller muscle mass utilization.
