Why the study?

Does %HRmax or %HRmax reserve better represent %VO2max during submaximal exercise in elderly subjects?

Population

55 elderly subjects (36 women and 19 men), 60 to 80 years of age.

Design

Cross-sectional

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

May support %HRmax over reserve for intensity prescription in older adults; hypothesis-generating for sex-specific equations and guideline revision.

Structured PICO

Does %HRmax or %HRmax reserve better represent %VO2max during submaximal exercise in elderly subjects?

Population

55 elderly subjects (36 women and 19 men), 60 to 80 years of age.

Intervention

Submaximal treadmill protocol consisting of three 6-min exercise stages at treadmill speeds and grades estimated to elicit 40%, 60%, and 80% of HRmax reserve.

Outcome

Relationships among relative maximal heart rate (%HRmax), maximal heart rate reserve (%HRmax reserve), and maximal oxygen uptake (%VO2max) during submaximal exercise.surrogate

In older adults, %HRmax more closely represents %VO2max than %HRmax reserve during submaximal exercise, which contrasts with American College of Sports Medicine guidelines.
