“…Previous studies have reported that Asian males might have less smoking-related annual excess FEV1 declines, estimated 3 mL per pack years, as compared with other racial males [13,14]. In a Japanese male cohort, smoking was not associated with maximal oxygen uptake during treadmill exercise as well [15]. It is reasonable that the declines in lung function could lead to poor exercise performance.…”

Tobacco smoking has been found associated with lower cardiorespiratory fitness in white and black males; however, few studies have not been conducted to clarify such relationship in Asian males. We performed a cross-sectional study to investigate the association between tobacco smoking status and physical fitness in 3,669 military males, averaged 29.4 years of age, from the cardiorespiratory fitness and hospitalization events in armed forces (CHIEF) study in Taiwan during 2014. There were 1,376 current smokers, and the others were noncurrent smokers. The effective sample size estimated was 1,230 participants, as the margin of error was ±3% at the 99% confidence level. Physical fitness was evaluated by time for a 3000-meter run test (aerobic fitness) and repetitive numbers of 2-minute sit-ups and 2-minute push-ups (anaerobic fitness) where all procedures were standardized by using computerized scoring systems. A multiple linear analysis adjusting for age, service specialty, body mass index, heart rate, alcohol intake, and training frequency was used to determine the relationship. As compared with noncurrent smoking, current smoking was inversely correlated with longer time for a 3000-meter run (β = 15.66 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 10.62, 20.70)) and fewer repetitive numbers of 2-minute sit-ups and 2-minute push-ups (β = −1.53 (95% CI: −2.08, −0.97) and −1.31 (95% CI: −2.12, −0.50), respectively). Our finding reconfirms the concept that tobacco smoking might reduce both aerobic and anaerobic fitness among young Asian males.

“…Leisure-time physical activity such as exercise is well known to be associated with maximal oxygen uptake (Kawabata et al 1997;Kelley and Kelley 2006), and it was reported that the physical activity questionnaire had an acceptable validity for estimating maximal oxygen uptake (Aadahl et al 2007). In multiple regression analysis, leisure-time physical activity rating was a statistically significant variable and had a positive relationship with maximal oxygen uptake (β = 0.701).…”

“…The factors associated with maximal oxygen uptake included genetics, age, gender, physical activity, body fat, smoking and medical conditions such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes (O'Tool 1989;Watanabe et al 1994;Chilibeck et al 1996;Kawabata et al 1997;Lim et al 1997;Hashizume et al 2000;Park et al 2001;Zhang et al 2004;An et al 2005;Kang et al 2005). Considering ethnical difference on maximal oxygen uptake, it is necessary to develop a non-exercise regression model for Korean adults (John et al 2011).…”

Maximal oxygen uptake is generally accepted as the most valid and reliable index of cardiorespiratory fitness and functional aerobic capacity. The exercise test for measuring maximal oxygen uptake is unsuitable for screening tests in public heath examinations, because of the potential risks of exercise exertion and time demands. We designed this study to determine whether work-related physical activity is a potential predictor of maximal oxygen uptake, and to develop a maximal oxygen uptake equation using a non-exercise regression model for the cardiorespiratory fitness test in Korean adult workers. Study subjects were adult workers of small-sized companies in Korea. Subjects with history of disease such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma and angina were excluded. In total, 217 adult subjects (113 men of 21-55 years old and 104 women of 20-64 years old) were included. Self-report questionnaire survey was conducted on study subjects, and maximal oxygen uptake of each subject was measured with the exercise test. The statistical analysis was carried out to develop an equation for estimating maximal oxygen uptake. The predictors for estimating maximal oxygen uptake included age, gender, body mass index, smoking, leisure-time physical activity and the factors representing work-related physical activity. The work-related physical activity was identified to be a predictor of maximal oxygen uptake. Moreover, the equation showed high validity according to the statistical analysis. The equation for estimating maximal oxygen uptake developed in the present study could be used as a screening test for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness in Korean adult workers.

Physical Work Load Affects the Maximum Oxygen Uptake

IntroductionAs a consequence of the WHO Ottawa Charter of 1986, Industrial Safety and Health Law was revised in Japan in 1988. It prescribes that execution of health promotion measures for workers is an obligation of employers. In line with this, Total Health Promotion Plan (THP) has been instituted 1) . THP includes not only medical examination, but also investigation of life-style, and assessment of physical fitness. Determination of the maximal oxygen uptake (V · O 2 max) as an indication of a whole body endurance is included in physical fitness assessment. Based on these results, guidance for health care and psychological counseling are provided to employees. It is reported that V · O 2 max is influenced by life-style, such as exercise and smoking 2-9, 30, 32, 33) . Moreover, the preceding researches reported that the fall in V · O 2 max is closely connected with cardiovascular system disorders, such as heart diseases, and hypertension 7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][31][32] . Based on this evidence and from a viewpoint of preventive medicine, V · O 2 max is being used as a health index in THP.
