ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of two different pedal speeds on selected exercise variables during maximal incremental bicycle ergometer tests. Eleven healthy male subjects participated in the study which included two incremental cycle ergometer tests (performed 1 week apart) designed to elicit aerobic capacity. Besides VO2 max, carbon dioxide production (VCO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), volume of expired air (VE), respiratory rate (RR), heart rates (HR) and overall ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were also measured during the experiment. Results showed no significant difference in peak VO2 values due to pedal speed. Further results were analyzed, and the authors concluded that while energy expenditure is greater, there is no difference in perceived exertion at the lower power outputs of an incremental cycle ergometer test at two different speeds.
