Abstract

Effects of age, sex, race, and initial fitness on training responses of maximal O 2 uptake (V˙o 2 max) are unclear. Data were available on 435 whites and 198 blacks (287 men and 346 women), aged 17–65 yr, before and after standardized cycle ergometer training. Individual responses varied widely, butV˙o 2 max increased significantly for all groups. Responses by men and women and by blacks and whites of all ages varied widely. There was no sex difference for change (Δ) inV˙o 2 max(ml · kg−1 · min−1); women had lower initial values and greater relative (%) increases. Blacks began with lower values but had similar responses. Older subjects had a lower Δ but a similar percent change. BaselineV˙o 2 max correlated nonsignificantly with ΔV˙o 2 max but significantly with percent change. There were high, medium, and low responders in all age groups, both sexes, both races, and all levels of initial fitness. Age, sex, race, and initial fitness have little influence onV˙o 2 max response to standardized training in a large heterogeneous sample of sedentary black and white men and women.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
