Exercise intervention does not reduce the likelihood of VO2max underestimation in older adults with hypertension

The present study aimed to investigate whether training status would influence the capacity of a verification phase (VER) to confirm maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) of a previous graded exercise test (GXT) in individuals with hypertension. Twelve older adults with hypertension (8 women) were recrui...

Description
Summary:The present study aimed to investigate whether training status would influence the capacity of a verification phase (VER) to confirm maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) of a previous graded exercise test (GXT) in individuals with hypertension. Twelve older adults with hypertension (8 women) were recruited. Using a within-subject design, participants performed a treadmill GXT to exhaustion followed by a multistage VER both before and after a 12-wkcombined exercise training programme. Individual VO 2 max, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), maximal heart rate (HR max ), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured during both GXT and VER tests. Absolute and relative VO 2 max values were higher in VER than in GXT at baseline, but only absolute VO 2 max differed between bouts post-intervention (all p
