Factors affecting the oxygen cost of stepping on an electronic stepping ergometer.

Abstract:

:The purposes of this study were to evaluate (a) the effects of step rate and upper body support on the VO2 and HR responses to fixed work rates on the StairMaster 4000 (SM), (b) the accuracy of the SM settings, and (c) how HR compared with that measured during grade-walking on a treadmill. Six subjects worked at a slow step rate for 6 min and then a faster step rate for the last 6 min of a 12-min test at SM settings of 4, 7, and 10 METs. Gas exchange and HR measurements were made at minutes 4-6 and 10-12. Variations in step rate had no effect on HR (P = 0.45) or VO2 (P = 0.84). The effect of using the arms and hands for support was studied using 6 subjects who worked for 12 min at 4, 7, and 10 METs; the first 6 min without support, and the second 6 min with support. Support resulted in lower HR (P = 0.017) and VO2 (P = 0.002) values at 10 METs. The measured MET values were about 20% lower than those specified by machine settings: True MET values = 0.556 + 0.745 (SM setting). Finally, at the same VO2, systematically higher (7-11 b.min-1) HR values were observed for the SM relative to the treadmill.
