On issues of confidence in determining the time constant for oxygen uptake kinetics

Abstract: Background: tV O 2 at the onset of constant work rate (CWR) exercise is a variable of aerobic fitness that shortens with physical training and lengthens with cardiopulmonary disease. Determination of tV O 2 with sufficiently high confidence has typically required multiple exercise transitions limiting its clinical application. Objectives: To design a protocol to determine tV O 2 reliably but simply. Methods: On each of three days, five healthy men performed two CWR tests on a cycle ergometer below the metaboli… Show more

“…This faster V O 2 kinetics is related with a shorter time lag in the unbalance of V O 2 demand and supply, implying an augmented oxidative contribution to energy transfer (Burnley and Jones 2007). Complementarily, the reported τ values were lower than those obtained for longer swimming distances (200 m; Sousa et al 2011 and 400 m front crawl; Rodriguez et al 2003), since this parameter mathematically describes the V O 2 kinetics profile reflecting the response of cardiovascular and muscular systems at the selected intensity (Markovitz et al 2004). Hence, the very high swimming intensity of the 100 m swim (implying the sudden and exponential need of V O 2 ) justifies the observed lower τ values.…”

“…In the present study, the fact the time constant is not similar between the two intensities seems to be due to the extreme intensity at which the 200 m crawl were performed. Therefore, and since the value of the time constant describes the adaptation profile of the cardiovascular and muscular systems at the intensity of the performed effort 25 , the sudden and exponential need of VO 2 to higher intensities (figure 2) will be able to explain the lower values of this parameter.…”

“…No dia seguinte os sujeitos realizaram um teste de carga constante na vVO 2max para determinação do tempo limite (T lim ), tempo para atingir o VO 2max (TAVO 2max ), tempo mantido no VO 2max (TMVO 2max ), distância total percorrida (D max ) e constante tempo (τ), sendo realizada uma única transição (4) . Os testes de carga constante foram realizados no mesmo horário do teste incremental, com variação de ± duas horas (18) .…”

“…O estudo das trocas gasosas durante a transição do estado de repouso para exercício físico permite avaliar a cinética (tempo de resposta) do VO 2 . Adicionalmente, foi reportado que a cinética do VO 2 na intensidade associada ao VO 2max (vVO 2max ) apresenta característica monoexponencial (3,4) . Quando um indivíduo parte da situação de repouso para um exercí-cio de alta intensidade (i.e.…”
