Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the maximal oxygen uptake (VO) in 88 young, healthy, non-athletic Saudi men, using treadmill exercise tests and breath-by-breath analysis to obtain accurate measurements
- - The mean measured VO was found to be 41.9 ml/kg/min, significantly lower than VO predicted by several international equations, which generally overestimated the actual VO except for one (Hansen's) that showed good agreement with the measured VO
- - The findings suggest that the Hansen equation is the most reliable formula for predicting VO in this specific population, potentially due to factors like lower physical activity levels and racial differences compared to Western standards *.
