ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Running velocity associated with VO2max (vVO2max) is a parameter widely used for exercise prescription and is related to endurance performance. However, the vVO2max determination usually requires a maximal effort test and equipped laboratory for expired gas analysis, what make difficulty its assessment.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to test the validity of a simple method of vVO2max prediction through the heart rate cost of running (HRC) in a submaximal 6-min running test, both in treadmill and in a 400-meter track.METHODS:
Male recreational runners (nâ¯=â¯16; 30.3⯱â¯8.0â¯years; VO2max of 46.2⯱â¯3.2â¯ml·kg-1·min-1) randomly underwent an incremental test in treadmill with gas analysis, and a 3000-m time trial in a track, to determine vVO2max. Before every maximal test, participants also performed a submaximal 6-min running (~85% HRmax), both in the treadmill and in a track, to assess HRC (bpm-1m·min-1) by dividing the submaximal running velocity by its respective HR. The vVO2max (km·h-1) was predicted by dividing the HRmax (bpm)/HRC (bpm-1m·min-1).RESULTS:
No differences were verified (pâ¯>â¯.05) among vVO2max determined both in the treadmill (13.8⯱â¯0.9â¯km·h-1) and track (13.6⯱â¯0.9â¯km·h-1) to those predicted by the HRC method both in treadmill (13.5⯱â¯0.8â¯km·h-1) and track (13.6⯱â¯1.0â¯km·h-1). The vVO2max measured directly with expired gas analysis was highly correlated with vVO2max estimated through HRC in treadmill and track (pâ¯<â¯.05). Additionally, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman technique revealed good agreement and reliability classified with substantial agreement [ICCâ¯=â¯0.673 (95% CI 0.064-0.886; pâ¯=â¯.019)] and almost perfect agreement [ICCâ¯=â¯0.870 (95% CI 0.628-0.955 pâ¯=â¯.0001)] between methods to identify vVO2max, respectively.CONCLUSION:
A submaximal 6-min exercise test protocol to assess HRC of running was considered valid to estimate vVO2max of recreational runners both in treadmill and outdoor track.Palavras-chave
