during submaximal cycle ergometry. J. Appl.

It is presently
unclear how gender, aging, and physical activity status interact to
determine the magnitude of the rise in cardiac output
(
c) during dynamic exercise. To clarify this issue,
the present study examined the
c-O2 uptake
(
O2) relationship during
graded leg cycle ergometry in 30 chronically endurance-trained subjects from four groups (n = 6-8/group): younger men (20-30 yr), older men (56-72
yr), younger women (24-31 yr), and older women
(51-72 yr).
c (acetylene rebreathing), stroke
volume (
c/heart rate), and whole body
O2 were measured at rest
and during submaximal exercise intensities (40, 70, and ~90% of peak
O2). Baseline resting
levels of
c were 0.6-1.2 l/min less in the
older groups. However, the slopes of the
c-
O2
relationship across submaximal levels of cycling were similar among all
four groups (5.4-5.9 l/l). The absolute
c
associated with a given
O2
(1.0-2.0 l/min) was also similar among groups. Resting and
exercise stroke volumes (ml/beat) were lower in women than in men but
did not differ among age groups. However, older men and women showed a
reduced ability, relative to their younger counterparts, to maintain
stroke volume at exercise intensities above 70% of peak
O2. This latter effect was
most prominent in the oldest women. These findings suggest that neither
age nor gender has a significant impact on the
c-
O2 relationships during submaximal cycle ergometry among chronically endurance-trained individuals.
