Does heart rate response confirm the attainment of maximal oxygen uptake in adults 45 years and older? This is a recent publication by Ph.D. student Jeremy Ducharme and collaborators.

Does heart rate response confirm the attainment of maximal oxygen uptake in adults 45 years and older? Beginning with the work of Hill et al. ( 1924 ), maximal oxygen consumption ( $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2} $$ V ˙ O 2 max) has been one of the most widely studied and examined physiological variables in the field of exercise physiology (Noakes 2008 ).

Congratulations to our current Ph.D. student Jeremy Ducharme and collaborators for their publication in the European Journal of Applied Physiology. The authors reported that a verification bout is reliable for confirming VO2max in older adults on treadmill and cycle ergometer.

Does heart rate response confirm the attainment of maximal oxygen uptake in adults 45 years and older? - PubMed These results suggest that a verification bout is reliable for confirming [Formula: see text]max in older adults on both modalities. In our sample of middle-aged and older adults, [Formula: see text]plat was the most robust method to assess [Formula: see text]max when indirect calorimetry...
