Non-Invasive Laboratory Test Used To Predict Aerobic And Anaerobic Performances In Army Runners, Raphael Cailleaux, Cristina Dos Santos, Paulo Eduardo Redkva, Vanessa Holtz Franco

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The velocity test is theoretically a non-invasive cheap method for evaluating aerobic capacity (Vcrit) and anaerobic work capacity (AWC). Various authors have validated Vcrit, generally in the field, for predicting aerobic performance. However, the validity of AWC as an anaerobic evaluation tool is still controversial. This study evaluated the capacity of laboratory determined Vcrit and AWC in predicting aerobic and anaerobic performance. Thirteen runners, aged 20.1±2.1 years, height 170±0.1 cm, and weight 66.0±3.7 kg from the 13th Armoured Infantry Battalion (Brazilian Army) based in Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil were submitted to three exhaustive random efforts on a treadmill at 100%, …

Comparison Between Glucose Threshold And Critical Velocity For Aerobic Capacity Determination In Men, João Marcos Pereira Duarte, Gustavo Mello Rissato, Vitor Karlos Piubelli Carrara, Runer Augusto Marson

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The blood glucose threshold (GT) and critical velocity (CV) has been used for the assessment of the aerobic capacity for trained individuals in replace the blood lactate and ventilatory parameters for anaerobic threshold determination. But, there are few studies with physically active subjects. The purpose of this study was to measure, compare and correlate the running velocities associated with the GT and CV of a group of untrained men. Fifteen adult men (23±3.74 years old; 72±10.97 kg; 1.76±0.07 m; 21±5.36 % fat mass) performed the following tests: 1) 500m and 3km time trial (Vm500 and Vm3km); 2) Incremental test on …

The non-invasive critical power model suggested for aerobic/anaerobic evaluation of human beings was adapted for rats in our Laboratory. The aim of the present study was to verify the effects of 12-hours fasting on the critical velocity (CV) and the anaerobic running capacity (ARC) determination in sedentary rats. 11 adult Wistar rats (90 days old, weighing 395.5 ± 17.6g) were submitted to four exercise tests at 25, 30, 35 and 40m/min (with 48 hours of interval), performed randomly and continuously until exhaustion, for the CV and ARC estimations. The protocol was executed with the rats in the fed state and …
