Resumo
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and the applicability of oxygen consumption reserve (VO2R) in the prescription of continuous aerobic exercise for the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) intensities of 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%. Following ergoespirometry, the physical training speeds corresponding to 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80% VO2R were calculated using the equation proposed by ACSM for running and walking in 60 volunteers – 30 males and 30 females – aged 23 ± 3.4 and 21.7 ± 4.1 respectively. After the calculations were done, the volunteers performed continuous aerobic exercise (running or walking) for 30 minutes in a random sequence of the said intensities with intervals of 48 hours between them. During the exercise performance, oxygen consumption was collected. The VO2 consumption collected during the aerobic exercise was called measured oxygen consumption reserve (VO2Rm) for the purpose of comparing VO2R calculations with VO2 consumption at the same exercise intensity. The criteria used for determining the equation accuracy were the following: a) Student’s t test; b) evaluation of the correlation coefficient; c) analysis of estimate standard error of the inclination of the straight line of linear regression. The level of significance used was p< 0.05. Data demonstrated that VO2R and VO2Rm were similar in all intensities. However, the VO2R median values were always higher at each intensity studied than those of VO2Rm (3.4%, 4.2%, 9.2%, and 2.2% in the male group and 9.9%, 3.3%, 7.7%, and 9.7 % in the female group). There was no significant difference between the heart rate measured in the blood lactate (BL) and the heart rate at 70% of HRmaxE and 70% of HRmaxM. The heart rate values prescribed indirectly 85% of HRmaxE and 85% of HRmaxM underestimate the heart rate in the RCP by approximately 6.5% (male group) and 9.1% (female group). The VO2 values prescribed indirectly overestimate by approximately 36.7% (male group) and 66.3% (female group) when VO2 at 60% of the estimated oxygen maximal consumption (VO2maxE) is used and by 18% when VO2 at 60% of VO2maxM is used compared to VO2 values in BL, both groups. There was no significant difference between VO2 in RCP and VO2 at 80% of VO2maxM; however, VO2 in RCP was approximately 9.2% higher in the male group and 6.5% lower in the female group. We came to the conclusion that the oxygen consumption reserve equation demonstrates a good correlation with the VO2 consumed during continuous aerobic exercise; however, the said equation tends to overestimate the aerobic exercise intensity mainly in individuals with poor physical condition. Moreover, the use of both VO2maxE and HRmaxE overestimates the values found, which may predispose to a premature metabolic acidosis, and, as a result of that, cause an overload to the cardio-vascular system. The results suggest that adequate prescriptions of intensities for aerobic exercising are more efficient and safer when determined by ergoespirometry.
