Summary: Verification tests in a hot environment confirmed the VO2max obtained from a graded exercise test (GXT) in nearly all participants, indicating strong utility. However, there was a significant difference in VO2max between the verification test and GXT, with wide variability and potential reliability issues observed. Recommendations for work rate and recovery protocol between tests were provided to enhance test-retest reliability in a hot environment.

Summary: BFR treadmill walking can increase VO2 max, and this improvement is not influenced by changes in Hb(mass) or blood volume, despite the release of blood volume regulating hormones.

Summary: The study found that the respiration chamber is a valid and reproducible method for measuring VO(2)max, with high concordance and no significant differences between different tests. New research opportunities such as maximal exercise testing during 24-hour measurements are possible in the respiration chamber.

Summary: The study analyzed plasma protein levels and identified proteins associated with individual oxygen consumption and increase in oxygen consumption after exercise training, which improved the prediction of individual oxygen consumption. The findings were validated in separate exercise cohorts and linked some proteins to all-cause mortality in a community-based cohort. The study also reproduced the specificity of key findings using antibody-based assays.

Summary: This study compared predicted VO2max (pVO2max) with directly measured VO2max and found that the accuracy of available prediction models has not been validated in endurance athletes. The models underestimated pVO2max in younger and higher trained athletes, and overestimated pVO2max in older and lower trained athletes. These models should only be used as a supplemental method for physicians and new models need to be developed for clinical practice and sports diagnostics.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to develop prediction models for different athletic populations using an incremental treadmill test with the modified Heck protocol. The study recruited a total of 598 professional and youth athletes from various sports, and separate prediction models were developed for each group. The results showed a significant relationship between endurance and VO (2) max, and the generated regression equations could predict VO (2) max in a relatively short time without the need for expensive and sophisticated equipment. This study is the first to provide regression models for different athletic populations using the modified Heck protocol.

Summary: This study compared the oxygenation response in the vastus lateralis muscle during supramaximal and maximal tests and investigated the usefulness of muscle oxygenation measurements in assessing anaerobic and aerobic capacity. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the SmO2 indices between the two tests, and gender did not impact muscle oxygenation regardless of test type. In the graded exercise test, the half time required for SmO2 to reach the maximal value correlated with VO2max and test duration, indicating the usefulness of SmO2 measurements in assessing aerobic capacity in speed skaters. However, the Wingate test did not show significant correlations between exercise indices and muscle oxygenation indices, suggesting limited diagnostic value of SmO2 measurements in assessing anaerobic capacity.

Summary: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a common method in sports diagnostics, and this research aims to create models using CPET results from one modality to predict results for the other modality. The study found that CPET parameters can be accurately predicted between different testing modalities, and maximal parameters are more predictable than submaximal ones. The equations created in this study, combined with body composition analysis, can be used as an effective method in comprehensive sports diagnostics.

Summary: The objective of this study was to determine if the relationships between energy cost of running and running mechanics could be related to fitness level. The results showed that running mechanics were related to energy cost during uphill running, but not during level and downhill running. Longer stance duration during uphill running contributes to lower energy expenditure and running cost, suggesting potential for optimizing specific running training programs.

Summary: This study systematically assessed the effects of hydrogen intake on fatigue and aerobic capacity in healthy adults. The results showed that hydrogen supplementation can alleviate fatigue but does not enhance aerobic capacity. The study also found that the effects of hydrogen on fatigue were impacted by training status, duration of hydrogen implementation, and exercise types.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of altering terrain unevenness on gait kinematics, and found that increasing terrain unevenness led to greater stride-to-stride variability and reduced perceived stability in participants.

Summary: The study found that the grade of obesity did not have a significant impact on the criteria for achieving VO2max in obese youths, but those with grade II obesity showed a higher tendency in heart rate and perceived exertion level than those with grade I obesity.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of aerobic fitness on cognitive function following exhaustive exercise using the Systems Factorial Technology (SFT). The results showed that aerobic fitness can enhance the resilience capacity in decision making and mitigate the negative effects of exhaustive exercise. These findings have important implications for individuals who need to perform cognitively challenging tasks under physically stressful conditions.

Summary: There were no significant differences between the two methods used to estimate VO(2)max in middle-aged and older adults, but there were biases and errors associated with the Heart Rate Ratio Method (HRRM). It is recommended that VO(2)max be measured using a maximal graded exercise test with indirect calorimetry for this population.
