Verification of maximal oxygen uptake in active military personnel during treadmill running. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2021-It is unclear whether verification tests are required to confirm "true" maximal oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max) in modern warfighter populations. Our study investigated the prevalence of V[Combining Dot Above]O2max attainment in U.S. Army soldiers performing a traditional incremental running test. In addition, we examined the utility of supramaximal verification testing as well as repeated trials for familiarization for accurate V[Combining Dot Above]O2max assessment. Sixteen U.S. Army soldiers (1 woman, 15 men; age, 21 ± 2 years; height, 1.73 ± 0.06 m; body mass, 71.6 ± 10.1 kg) completed 2 laboratory visits, each with an incremental running test (modified Astrand protocol) and a verification test (110% maximal incremental test speed) on a motorized treadmill. We evaluated V[Combining Dot Above]O2max attainment during incremental testing by testing for the definitive V[Combining Dot Above]O2 plateau using a linear least-squares regression approach. Peak oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak) was considered statistically equivalent between tests if the 90% confidence interval around the mean difference was within ±2.1 ml·kg-1·min-1. Oxygen uptake plateaus were identified in 14 of 16 volunteers for visit 1 (87.5%) and all 16 volunteers for visit 2 (100%). Peak oxygen uptake was not statistically equivalent, apparent from the mean difference in V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak measures between the incremental test and verification test on visit 1 (2.3 ml·kg-1·min-1, [1.3-3.2]) or visit 2 (1.1 ml·kg-1·min-1 [0.2-2.1]). Interestingly, V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak was equivalent, apparent from the mean difference in V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak measures between visits for the incremental tests (0.0 ml·kg-1·min-1 [-0.8 to 0.9]) but not the verification tests (-1.2 ml·kg-1·min-1 [-2.2 to -0.2]). Modern U.S. Army soldiers can attain V[Combining Dot Above]O2max by performing a modified Astrand treadmill running test. Additional familiarization and verification tests for confirming V[Combining Dot Above]O2max in healthy active military personnel may be unnecessary. |
