    This study developed a formula to estimate total oxygen uptake (TVO2) in elderly men during exercise using heart rate and total heartbeats. The method, validated against the Douglas bag method, showed a low discrepancy, offering a practical tool for assessing exercise responses in older adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Gerontology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of oxygen uptake is crucial for evaluating physical fitness and exercise response in elderly populations.
    • Traditional methods for measuring oxygen uptake can be cumbersome and may not be practical for routine use in older adults.
    • Developing non-invasive and accessible estimation methods is essential for monitoring the health and exercise capacity of aging individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a formula for estimating total oxygen uptake (TVO2) in elderly men during cycle exercise.
    • To investigate the relationship between a key parameter (SR125) and predicted VO2max and step test performance.
    • To provide a practical method for assessing exercise-induced oxygen consumption in older adults using readily available physiological measures.

    Main Methods:

    • 51 observations of 30-min cycle exercise in 17 men aged 60-65 years.
    • Development of a formula for TVO2 using mean heart rate (HR) and total heartbeats (THB).
    • Determination of SR125 (slope of O2 uptake vs. heartbeats at mean HR of 125 bpm) and its correlation with step test performance.

    Main Results:

    • A formula was derived: TVO2 (ml.kg-1) = SR125 X (49.5 X mean HR + 3760) X THB X 10(-4).
    • SR125 was significantly correlated with step test score (X): SR125 = -0.00131X + 0.3660.
    • The estimation method showed a discrepancy of 10.2 +/- 7.3% compared to the Douglas bag method.

    Conclusions:

    • Total oxygen uptake in exercising elderly men can be reliably estimated from total heartbeats and mean HR.
    • The derived formula provides a practical, non-invasive tool for assessing exercise responses in older adults.
    • The step test can be used to determine SR125, simplifying the estimation of TVO2 regardless of exercise intensity.
