Determination and comparison of the VO2max in practitioners of stationary cycling using nomograma of Astrand-Rhyming
Abstract
Stationary cyclic is offered exercise in gym to lose corporal weight and improve physical fitness components like oxygen intake. The purpose objective was described and compares trained women VO2max utilizing Astrand-Rhyming nomogram in cycle ergometer. A physical evaluation was done in four women groups. The variables were body mass index, pressure, heart rate, age, normal pressure or not, practice aerobic exercise beyond stationary cyclic and VO2max. Descriptive analyses were realized and association among variables. Comparation statistics analyses among groups (t test) were realized and chi-square test how effect measure. The results and validate test did not show satisfactory dates. The meaning is accuracy level among variables, in research, is questionable. Although studies show adaptations in muscular and cardiac systems came from stationary cyclic, in this study there were not improve physical fitness comparation, because the women were not evaluate before begin in activity. However, a new evaluation utilizing same parameters and subjects will be important to compare, after six months of stationary cyclic practice, same variables evaluate in research and know if this activity is important in subjects physical fitness improve.
