“…We believe that VO 2 values vary depending on the population studied as we can see in the Brazilian study by Neder et al 24 and the Chinese study by Ong 22 , who found lower values when compared with European and North American studies.…”

“…Recently, well-designed studies that measured CRF directly using the treadmill test have been published for relatively large populations, especially for Westerners [12][13][14]. Although there have been attempts to present age-related mean reference values for Asian populations [24,[27][28][29], these studies also had small sample sizes and/or used cycle ergometers instead of the treadmill test.…”

“…As far as we know, this is the first study to investigate the reference values of CRF using the treadmill test for Asians with a large sample size and high quality. Although the study was confined to Koreans, it was meaningful because it was aimed at a relatively large population group as compared with the previous studies of Asian populations [24,[27][28][29]. Another advantage of this study was that the percentage of predicted exercise capacity of Koreans by sex and age can be easily ascertained through the nomogram.…”

We investigated reference values for cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) for healthy Koreans and Koreans with coronary heart disease (CHD) and used them to identify inter-ethnic differences in CRF, differences over time in CRF, and differences in CRF between the healthy population and patients with CHD. The study population for healthy Koreans was derived from the database of KISS FitS (Korea Institute of Sports Science Fitness Standards) between 2014 and 2015. The study population for Koreans with CHD was derived from the database of the Korea University Guro Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation Registry between June 2015 and December 2018. In healthy Koreans, there was a significant difference between sex and age groups for VO 2 max. The VO 2 max of healthy Koreans differed from that of Westerners in age-related reference values. Our results were not significantly different from those of the Korean population in the past, except for a small decline in the young population. There seemed to be a clear inter-ethnic difference in CRF. We could also identify signs of small change in CRF in younger age groups. Therefore, CRF should be assessed according to ethnic or national standards, and it will be necessary to establish a reference for each nation or ethnicity with periodic updates.

“…At the end of exercise, the reasons for termination, as well as the Borg dyspnoea score [14], were obtained from the subjects. The predicted V9O 2 ,max was derived from regressions based on age, sex, weight and height from published data obtained from the local population [15].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate pulmonary function and exercise capacity in a group of survivors of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).At 3 months after hospital discharge, 46 survivors of SARS underwent the following evaluation: spirometry, static lung volumes and carbon monoxide transfer factor (TL,CO). In total, 44 of these patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing.No abnormalities were detected in the pulmonary function tests in 23 (50%) of the patients. Abnormalities of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC and TL,CO were detected in seven (15%), 12 (26%), one (2%) and 18 (39%) patients, respectively. All of these abnormalities were mild except in one case. In 18 patients (41%), the maximum aerobic capacity was below the lower limit of the normal range. Breathing reserve was low in four patients and significant oxygen desaturation was detected in a further four patients. Comparison of the measured exercise capacity with resting pulmonary function tests showed many cases of discordance in impairment.In conclusion, pulmonary function defects were detected in half of the recovered severe acute respiratory syndrome patients 3 months after hospital discharge, but the impairment was mild in almost all cases. Many patients had reduced exercise capacity that cannot be accounted for by impairment of pulmonary function.

Predictive values for cardiopulmonary exercise testing in sedentary Chinese adults

Abstract: Previously established prediction equations for maximal exercise performance during CPET based on non-Chinese populations may not be applicable to Chinese subjects in our population.
