The slope of the oxygen pulse curve does not depend on the maximal heart rate in elite soccer players

Abstract: INTRODUCTION:It is unknown whether an extremely high heart rate can affect oxygen pulse profile during progressive maximal exercise in healthy subjects.OBJECTIVE:Our aim was to compare relative oxygen pulse (adjusted for body weight) curves in athletes at their maximal heart rate during treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise testing.METHODS:A total of 180 elite soccer players were categorized in quartiles according to their maximum heart rate values (n  =  45). Oxygen consumption, maximum heart rate and relative o… Show more

“…Additionally, obese individuals have greater submaximal VO 2 values at the same exercise intensity than non-obese subjects (3). Based on these arguments, O 2 pulse values in the current study, and in others from our research group (11,12,31), were normalized to body mass (mL O 2 . kg -1. min -1 ).…”

“…Although lower VO2max values were found in our oldest players, they achieved greater VO2maxabs and FFM values compared to the younger players. According to Perim et al (2011), a decline in the HRmax in endurance trained athletes may be compensated for by an increase in stroke volume to ensure optimal cardiac output. Therefore, we suggest that the reduction in the HRmax did not induce notable changes in VO2max levels in our oldest players.…”

“…Two interesting papers by Perim et al 19 , 20 examined relative O 2 pulse curves in elite soccer players at maximal heart rate during treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise testing. They conclude that relative O 2 pulse curve slopes, which serve as an indirect and non-invasive surrogate for stroke volume, suggest that the stroke volume is similar in young and aerobically fit subjects regardless of the maximum heart rate reached.…”
