Reprodutibilidade de um teste progressivo máximo para estimar a aptidão aeróbica utilizando airbike

Abstract

Introduction: Ergometer protocols are commonly used for measurement such as training and assessment tests performed in physics. However, approximate protocols using an Airbike are presented. Objective: The present study aims to test the reproducibility of a progressive test using an AirBike. Method: 2 years old ® 6 years old male aged 28.6 ± 8.0 years old, male aged 27.2 ± 8.1 years old, 7 female aged 29, 2 ± 8, 2 years Crossfit® practitioners for at least 3 months. The evaluation protocol consists of a progressive test until completion of one minute, at a time of 40 rotations per (RPM), with a stroke of 1 RPM added to each stage. A test was performed and after a period of 48h to 7 days the retest. To measure the perceived exertion (RPE) a Borg scale was used. To measure the heart rate (HR) during the test, the frequency meter for the Polar®10 heart was used, and the statistical analysis used the calculation of intraclass determination (ICC H) with a significance level of <.001. Results: ICC values between 0.3 and 0.9 were found in the test and retest comparison. Conclusion: Based on the results found, the progressive test to assess the maximum cardiorespiratory assessment (rpm) used by the Airbike is reproducible.
