“…A key advantage of using the CO rebreathing method as a talent identiWcation test is that it is relatively simple to administer, requiring only 0.6 ml of Wnger tip blood. Furthermore, CO rebreathing is a valid and reliable method of estimating Hb mass (Burge and Skinner 1995;Gore et al 2006;Schmidt and Prommer 2005) that does not require the motivation, skill or physical exertion of a laboratory-based VO 2max test (Gore et al 1997) or of a time-trial such as a 1.6 km run (Safrit 1990), which can also be aVected as much by body composition as by aerobic Wtness (Rowland et al 1999). A limitation of the CO rebreathing test is that it requires use of a hemoximeter with at least one decimal place resolution.…”

Longitudinal changes in haemoglobin mass and VO2max in adolescents

This study assessed the relationship between haemoglobin mass (Hb(mass)) and maximum oxygen consumption (VO(2max)) in adolescents over 1 year. Twenty-three subjects (11-15 years) participated; 12 undertook ~12 months of cycle training (cyclists) and 11 were sedentary (controls). Hb(mass) and VO(2max) were measured approximately every 3 months. At baseline there was a high correlation (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001) between relative VO(2max) (ml kg(-1) min(-1)) and relative Hb(mass) (g kg(-1)). During 12 months there was a significant increase in relative VO(2max) of the cyclists but not the controls; however, there was no corresponding increase in relative Hb(mass) of either group. The correlation between percent changes in relative VO(2max) and relative Hb(mass) was not significant for cyclists (r = 0.31, P = 0.33) or controls (r = 0.42, P = 0.19). Training does not increase relative Hb(mass) in adolescents consistent with a strong hereditary role for Hb(mass) and VO(2max). Hb(mass) may be used to identify adolescents who have a high VO(2max).

“…Measured cardiovascular variables were compared with those of a control group of 20 healthy boys (mean±SD age, 12.5±0.4 years; age range, 12.1-13.5 years) without musculoskeletal deformity who were participants in an earlier study regarding cardiovascular fitness and run performance in children. 12 The controls were selected to provide a broad range of fitness, based on school 1-mile run times. Fourteen controls (70%) had recently participated on community sports teams.…”

“…26 Findings for the girls have previously been presented in a comparison of cardiovascular fitness in premenarcheal girls and adult women. 27 Habitual physical activity was estimated by asking a parent to judge their child's activity level on a 5-point scale (1 ϭ very sedentary; 5 ϭ highly involved in sports, always active).…”
