Recently, expired gas analysis(EGA) during exercise testing is broadly performed. It has been recognized that anaerobic threshold(AT) and maximal oxygen uptake(VO2 max) may be useful in identifying one's exercise tolerance. AT especially has a good correlation with endurance capacity. In the field of sports medicine, the purposes of EGA are: 1) evaluation of endurance exercise capacity. 2) decision of intensity and frequency for exercise training, and 3) prevention of overtraining syndrome. In the clinical fields, EGA is frequently performed with cardiovascular patients, for example, myocardial infarction(MI), and congestive heart failure(CHF). The purposes are: 1) decision of intensity for exercise therapy with the patients of old MI. 2) evaluation of exercise capacity with the patients' of CHF. 3) index of exercise therapy for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, and 4) evaluation of drug effects including vasodilators and cardiotonics.
Among the methods for determining anaerobic threshold (AT), the heart rate (HR) method seems to be the simplest. On the other hand, many conflicting results from comparing this method with others have been presented over the last 10 years. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the heart rate threshold (HRT) with the lactate turn point (LTP)-"second" break point of dependence of lactate (LA) to power output, ventilatory threshold (VT) and threshold determined by electromyography (EMGAT), all determined by the same exercise test and evaluated by the same computer algorithm. A group of 24 female students [mean age 20.5 (SD 1.6) years, maximal oxygen consumption 48.8 (SD 4.7) ml.kg-1.min-1] performed an incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer (modified Conconi test) starting with an initial power output (PO) of 40 W with intensity increments of 10 W.min-1 until the subjects were exhausted. The HRT, LTP and EMGAT determination was done by computer-aided break-point regression analysis from dependence of functional measures on PO. The same computer algorithm was used for VT determination from the relationship between ventilation (V) and oxygen uptake (VO2) or carbon dioxide output (VCO2).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
The purpose of this study was to determine the anaerobic threshold of children by the analysis of saliva collected during field tests. A group of 25 children (mean age, 10.5 years) performed an incremental exercise test on a track, consisting of 4-min stages at increasing running velocities. Before each test (at rest) and at the end of each stage, both blood (via finger pricks) and saliva samples (for measurement of salivary concentrations of Na+ and Cl-) were collected to determine lactate threshold (Thla-) and saliva threshold (Thsa), respectively. There were no significant differences between values of Thla- and Thsa when expressed either as running velocity [mean Thla-, 10.73 (SD 1.96) km.h-1; mean Thsa, 10.89 (SD 1.69) km.h-1)] or heart rate [Thla-, 182(SD 14) beats. min-1 Thsa 183 (SD 11) beats.min-1]. In addition, correlations between Thsa and Thla were high, when both values were expressed as running velocity in kilometres per hour (r = 0.89; P < 0.001), or heart rate in beats per minute (r = 0.90; p < 0.001). In conclusion, these findings suggested that saliva analysis would be a valid method for anaerobic threshold determination in field tests.
