Influence of Varied, Controlled Distances from the Crank Axis on Peak Physiological Responses During Arm Crank Ergometry

摘要: INFLUENCE OF VARIED, CONTROLLED DISTANCES FROM THE CRANK AXIS ON PEAK PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES DURING ARM ERGOMETRY. Thomas L. Miller, Carl G. Mattacola, Mayra C. Santiago. JEPonline 2004;7(3):61-67. The purpose of the study was to determine influence varied, controlled distances from crank axis during arm ergometry (ACE) on peak physiological responses and physical work capacity (PWC). Physiological ACE were evaluated using three based 0°, 15°, 30° full extension in elbow while at furthest point rotation. Eleven adult, able-bodied women (age = 24.5 ± 4.7 yrs) performed graded maximal tests each axis. Data analyzed for differences PWC between positions. VO2peak (1.33 L/min) lower (F(2,20) 7.171, p < 0.01) than 0° (1.42 or 15° (1.41 L/min). No existed any other dependent variable. We conclude that distance influences values, thus should be when predict aerobic fitness.
