Detailní popis
This study evaluates the relationship between maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and the substrate crossover point during incremental treadmill exercise in young, physically active individuals. Substrate utilization kinetics and metabolic flexibility represent critical components of cardiovascular conditioning and endurance performance; however, the impact of continuous variations in aerobic capacity on the onset of metabolic transition requires detailed investigation.
Participants undergo anthropometric testing followed by a maximal graded exercise test on a motor-driven treadmill following the standard Bruce protocol. Breath-by-breath expired gas analysis using indirect calorimetry continuously monitors oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), and minute ventilation (VE) throughout the test. Respiratory exchange ratio (RER) values are calculated continuously. The substrate crossover point is operationally defined as the exercise intensity corresponding to an RER threshold of 0.85, representing the metabolic transition where carbohydrate oxidation becomes the predominant contributor to total energy expenditure over lipid oxidation.
Key outcome measures extracted at this threshold include:
Time to reach the crossover point (minutes)
Absolute oxygen uptake at crossover (liters per minute [L/min])
Relative oxygen uptake at crossover (milliliters per kilogram per minute [mL/kg/min])
Percentage of maximal oxygen uptake at crossover (%VO2max)
Heart rate at crossover (beats per minute [bpm])
Statistical associations between maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and the primary outcome measures at the crossover point are analyzed using linear correlation and regression models to determine how cardiorespiratory fitness alters substrate switching kinetics under progressive physical strain.

Experimentální: Exercise Testing Group
: Healthy young adult participants who undergo a single maximal incremental treadmill exercise test using the Bruce Protocol to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) and substrate crossover kinetics.
|
Participants perform a maximal treadmill exercise test following the standardized Bruce Protocol.
The test begins with a warm-up, followed by progressive 3-minute stages with continuous increases in speed and incline until voluntary exhaustion.
Indirect calorimetry is used continuously via breath-by-breath gas analysis to measure VO2VCO2, and RER for substrate crossover determination.
