ABSTRACT
Introduction: If the oxygen pulse (PulmaxO
2 = VO
2max /HR
max, mLO
2.beat-1) of Mexican atlhetes practicing diverse sports is caused by sportfit adjustment of different proportion, for both maximal O2 uptake (VOmax) and maximal heart rate (HRmax), then we should see significant PulmaxO2 differences among sport speciality groups.
Material and methods: Voluntaries were non-athletes (n = 31) and athletes: Karate-Do (n = 8), 400 dash meters (dm) (n = 7), 1,500 dm (n = 13), 5,000 dm (n = 15), 10,000 dm (n = 8), marathon (n = 6), 20 km walking (n = 8), soccer (n = 10) and rowing (n = 8). They all accomplished an increasing ergometric (ramp) test of maximum strength while seated on an electronic cycle-ergometer in an open spirometric system and at 2,240 m of altitude.
Results: Both the correlation and the linear regression showed positive relationships between PulmaxO2 and absolute VO2max between groups, but they also showed negative relationships between PulmaxO2 and HRmax in 1,500 dm, 5,000 dm, walking and rowing. The post-hoc (Student-Newman-Keuls) analyses showed similar relative VO2max in all sports groups. Non-athletes and marathon runners had the smaller and greater PulmaxO2 respectively. PulmaxO2 differences were found within groups, which were more evident after group rearrangement by absolute VO2max attributed to different degree of sportfit resistance adjustment.
Conclusions: PulmaxO2 was more closely related to absolute VO2max than to HRmax. PulmaxO2 was a non-invasive indicator of complementary evaluation of the cardiorespiratory function.
