Prediction of Cardiorespiratory Fitness by the Six-Minute Step Test and Its Association with Muscle Strength and Power in Sedentary Obese and Lean Young Women: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a hallmark characteristic in obese and lean sedentary young women. Peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) prediction from the six-minute step test (6MST) has not been established for sedentary females. It is recognized that lower-limb muscle strength and power play a key role during functional activities. The aim of this study was to investigate cardiorespiratory responses during the 6MST and CPX and to develop a predictive equation to estimate VO2peak in both lean and ob… Show more

“…138 ET and PA strongly correlate with increased muscle mass and strength which are some of the hallmark findings of high CRF. 139,140 Increased muscle mass and strength predicts improved outcomes in patients with CVD. For instance, in a retrospective cohort of 771 Japanese patients with acute HF, Kamiya et al found a strong, independent association between muscle mass (assessed with mid-upper…”

“…Portanto, quanto mais forte for o idoso, menor o percentual da força máxima será utilizado durante o exercício aeróbio. Ademais, resultados de estudos transversais, longitudinais e de revisão suportam o fato de que a força muscular é um importante determinante para a redução da ACR com o avançar da idade 1,2,14,15 .…”

“…Apesar da correlação positiva encontrada no presente estudo entre a força muscular e ACR no grupo mais idoso, em grupos mais jovens foram encontrados resultados diferentes daqueles relatados em estudos anteriores 11,12,15 . Tais resultados podem ser explicados, pelo menos em parte, pelos diferentes métodos utilizados, tanto para a avaliação da força quanto da ACR, bem como pelas diferenças nas amostras investigadas.…”
