Oxygen cost of human exercise

Oxygen cost of human exercise

In this research published in Journal of Physiology Anthony Sargeant and his team describe how the recruitment of different types of muscle fibres with increasing exercise intensity changes the oxygen cost of exercise. Thus the relationship of oxygen uptake and mechanical power output is not constant. This is in contrast to the standard teaching of many physiology textbooks. Non-linear…

Optimising seat height for wheelchair users

Optimising seat height for wheelchair users

This research was carried out by Luc Van der Woude as part of his PhD in the Physiology Department headed by Professor Anthony Sargeant. The published paper describes a methodology for investigating the effect of different seat heights of wheelchairs on propulsion techniques and cardiorespiratory demand. It is an example of the wide ranging research interests of Tony Sargeant which ranged from…

Abstract

A positive relationship between running economy and maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O 2max ) has been postulated in trained athletes, but previous evidence is equivocal and could have been confounded by statistical artefacts. Whether this relationship is preserved in response to running training (changes in running economy and V̇O 2max ) has yet to be explored. This study examined the relationships of (i) running economy and V̇O 2max between runners, and (ii) the changes in running economy and V̇O2max that occur within runners in response to habitual training. 168 trained distance runners (males, n = 98, V̇O 2max 73.0 ± 6.3 mL∙kg -1 ∙min -1 ; females, n = 70, V̇O 2max 65.2 ± 5.9 mL kg -1 ∙min -1 ) performed a discontinuous submaximal running test to determine running economy (kcal∙km -1 ). A continuous incremental treadmill running test to volitional exhaustion was used to determine V̇O 2max 54 participants (males, n = 27; females, n = 27) also completed at least one follow up assessment. Partial correlation analysis revealed small positive relationships between running economy and V̇O 2max (males r = 0.26, females r = 0.25; P<0.006), in addition to moderate positive relationships between the changes in running economy and V̇O 2max in response to habitual training (r = 0.35; P<0.001). In conclusion, the current investigation demonstrates that only a small to moderate relationship exists between running economy and V̇O 2max in highly trained distance runners. With >85% of the variance in these parameters unexplained by this relationship, these findings reaffirm that running economy and V̇O 2max are primarily determined independently.
