Significance of Ventilatory Thresholds During physical exertion, as the physical intensity increases, the production of CO2 ramps significantly as a result of the metabolism required to fuel the working muscles. The harder an athlete works, the more CO2 is produced. This CO2 production is the driving force for increased ventilation. In contrast to the linearContinue reading “Ventilatory Thresholds”

Physiological Demands of Basic Fire Management Tasks in Members of the Canadian Armed Forces: A Pilot Study
Authors: Étienne Chassé, MSc; Daniel Théoret, MSc; Martin P. Poirier, PhD; François Lalonde, PhD Introduction Members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are required to meet the minimum standards of the Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment (FORCE) job-based simulation test (JBST) and must possess the capacity to perform other common essential tasks. OneContinue reading “Physiological Demands of Basic Fire Management Tasks in Members of the Canadian Armed Forces: A Pilot Study”
Validity and Reliability of the VO2 Master Pro for Oxygen Consumption and Ventilation Assessment
Authors: Montoye, Alexander HK; Vondrasek, Joseph D.; and Hancock, James B. II Conclusion In conclusion, our study found acceptable convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the VO2 Master Pro analyzer for assessment of exercise VO2 and minute ventilation, compared to the Parvomedics analyzer. Validity and reliability measures of the VO2 Master found in this studyContinue reading “Validity and Reliability of the VO2 Master Pro for Oxygen Consumption and Ventilation Assessment”
Oxygen consumption in industrial tasks assisted by an upper limb exoskeleton
Authors: David Martínez Pascual Tutor/s: Nicolás M. García Aracil Summary “In view of the results obtained, oxygen consumption would indicate a decrease in fatigue under the task performed with the exoskeleton. Likewise, the results obtained for ventilation, tidal volume and respiratory rate are discussed, which could also show a decrease in physical fatigue when usingContinue reading “Oxygen consumption in industrial tasks assisted by an upper limb exoskeleton”
Selective respiratory parameters and training of female tennis players
Authors: Pacholek, Jakub Advisor: Kočíb, Tomáš Summary “The respiratory parameters of our twin players were average compared to the general population and below average compared to elite players. Laboratory and field results showed different results of VO2max.” Complete Article: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/118395

Speculating on Physiology in the Lab vs on the Road
Author: Jem Arnold Introduction “We’re seeing trends in systemic VO2, blood lactate, and local muscle oxygen that align with the literature on muscle recruitment and metabolic efficiencies on the trainer in the LAB vs on the road in the FIELD.” Complete Article: https://sparecycles.blog/2019/12/26/speculating-on-lab-vs-field-cycling/
VO2 Master versus Parvo TrueOne
Author: Jem Arnold Conclusion “…comparing the VO2 Master against one of the standard metabolic carts we have at our lab, the Parvo Medics TrueOne 2400. The findings are very encouraging as to the validity of the VO2 Master as a novel lab- and field-ready VO2 analyser.” Complete Article: https://sparecycles.blog/2019/11/27/comparing-vo2-master-to-trueone-part-1/
