Gender And Age

The purpose of this study was to describe the upper body exercise capabilities of youth with spina bifida, which would permit comparison of their abilities to norms. Forty-two children with spina bifida age 7 to 18 years were tested for maximal handgrip strength, anaerobic arm-crank power output, and peak arm-crank oxygen uptake. Analysis of variance was used to compare age, gender, and level of disability differences within the total sample. This analysis indicated no significant effect of level of disability on any of the upper body exercise capacity measures. Significant gender and age effects were noted for grip strength and anaerobic and aerobic capabilities. The sample exhibited handgrip strength comparable to that of nondisabled youth but low anaerobic power and peak oxygen uptake values. Some individual subjects, however, had “normal” values for all tests suggesting that a lower level of participation in regular physical activity rather than spina bifida per se may be responsible for the generally lower physical capacity found in the total sample.

Peak Vo2

The purpose of this study was to quantitate the maximal power output (POmax), peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), and maximal heart rate (HRmax) for wheelchair ergometer (WERG) exercise performed by three groups of disabled males: young adult (20-30 yr), middle-aged (50-60 yr), and elderly (80-90 yr). These subjects, who were confined to wheelchairs for similar time periods (mean = 11.7 yr), participated in progressive-intensity discontinuous test protocols on a WERG. Lower (P less than 0.01) mean POmax, peak VO2, and HRmax values were found with advancing age groups. In relationship to age, decreases in POmax and HRmax values were best described by parabolic models, whereas decreases in peak VO2 values were best described by a linear model. In comparison with young adults (83 W, 27 ml . kg-1 . min-1), surprisingly low POmax and peak VO2 values were found for the middle-aged (16 W, 10 ml . kg-1 . min-1) and elderly (7 W, 8 ml . kg-1 . min-1). When our peak VO2 data were combined with other data in the literature for upper body exercise by male disabled individuals, a decrease of 0.19 1 . min-1 or 2.9 ml . kg-1 . min-1 per decade of life was found.

Purpose: To investigate the interaction between exercise modality (i.e., upper- and lower-body exercise) and sex in physiological responses and power output (PO) across the entire intensity spectrum (i.e., from low to maximal intensity).Methods: Ten male and 10 female cross-country (XC) skiers performed a stepwise incremental test to exhaustion consisting of 5 min stages with increasing workload employing upper-body poling (UP) and running (RUN) on two separate days. Mixed measures ANOVA were performed to investigate the interactions between exercise modalities (i.e., UP and RUN) and sex in physiological responses and PO across the entire exercise intensity spectrum.Results: The difference between UP and RUN (ΔUP−RUN), was not different in the female compared with the male XC skiers for peak oxygen uptake (18 ± 6 vs. 18 ± 6 mL·kg−1·min−1, p = 0.843) and peak PO (84 ± 18 vs. 91 ± 22 W, p = 0.207). At most given blood lactate and rating of perceived exertion values, ΔUP−RUN was larger in the male compared with the female skiers for oxygen uptake and PO, but these differences disappeared when the responses were expressed as % of the modality-specific peak.Conclusion: Modality-differences (i.e., ΔUP−RUN) in peak physiological responses and PO did not differ between the female and male XC skiers. This indicates that increased focus on upper-body strength and endurance training in female skiers in recent years may have closed the gap between upper- and lower-body endurance capacity compared with male XC skiers. In addition, no sex-related considerations need to be made when using relative physiological responses for intensity regulation within a specific exercise modality.
