Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To assess the influence of central obesity on the magnitude of the error of estimate of maximal oxygen uptake in maximal cycling exercise testing.METHOD:A total of 1,715 adults (68% men) between 18-91 years of age underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing using a progressive protocol to volitional fatigue. Subjects were stratified by central obesity into three quartile ranges: Q1, Q2-3 and Q4. Maximal oxygen uptake [mL.(kg.min)-1] was estimated by the attained maximal workload and body weight using … Show more

“…In the multivariable model incorporating the individual compounding factors, body weight and resting heart rate are independently associated with the estimated VO 2 max. These findings are consistent with previous studies those examined the influence of body weight [ 57 , 75 ] and resting heart rate [ 76 , 77 ] on VO 2max .…”

“…Studies have also established inverse relationships between VO 2max and BMI and VO 2max and body weight, among students [ 54 ], athletes [ 55 ], and healthy adults [ 56 ]. A research [ 57 ] has indicated that a higher WC and lower maximal oxygen consumption produce results similar to this, and the present study also reports the same. Increasing type II muscle fibers and decreasing type I muscle fibers are one reason for decreasing VO 2max among high BMI and WC individuals [ 58 ].…”

“…However, they have used waist-to-height ratio which is a measure of central obesity than visceral fatness. [36] Exercise performing ability is significantly decreased in persons with central or peripheral fatness. Supply of oxygen to the working muscles is reduced in overweight and obese due to fatness.…”

“…Our evaluation protocol was quite comprehensive and involved several other variables tests. In order to identify potential influential variables for this particular study, age, sex, height, weight, waist girth, 31 sitting-rising test 32,33 and maximal muscle power related to body weight in the upper row movement 34 were also tabulated and analyzed.…”
