Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine whether the 1-km treadmill walking test, previously developed to predict peak oxygen uptake ( JOURNAL/jcprh/04.03/01273116-201709000-00009/9FSM1/v/2023-09-11T232137Z/r/image-gif o 2peak ) in stable cardiac outpatients, could be reproduced outdoors. Methods: Fifty male cardiac outpatients performed the 1-km walking test on a treadmill and on a flat track within 1 week. JOURNAL/jcprh/04.03/01273116-201709000-00009/9FSM1/v/2023-09-11T232137Z/r/image-gif o 2peak was estimated for both testing conditions considering age, height, weight, walking speed, and heart rate. Results: Average walking speed was slightly higher during outdoor conditions (5.73 ± 0.77 km/h vs 5.55 ± 0.84 km/h), whereas mean heart rates were similar for both testing conditions (102 ± 18 beats/min vs 103 ± 16 beats/min). JOURNAL/jcprh/04.03/01273116-201709000-00009/9FSM1/v/2023-09-11T232137Z/r/image-gif o 2peak values for treadmill and outdoor tests were not significantly different (26.4 ± 4.1 mL/kg/min vs 26.8 ± 4.5 mL/kg/min) and were strongly correlated ( r = 0.93, P 〈 .0001). The slope and the intercept of the JOURNAL/jcprh/04.03/01273116-201709000-00009/9FSM1/v/2023-09-11T232137Z/r/image-gif o 2peak values were not different from the line of identity. Conclusions: This moderate and perceptually regulated 1-km walking test administered outdoors gives similar results compared with a similar test performed on a treadmill. Therefore, JOURNAL/jcprh/04.03/01273116-201709000-00009/9FSM1/v/2023-09-11T232137Z/r/image-gif o 2peak can be reasonably estimated using both testing modalities. This suggests that the outdoor 1-km test can be applied for indirect estimations of cardiorespiratory fitness in an outpatient setting.
