Abstract

Critical power (CP) and the second ventilatory threshold (VT2) are presumed to indicate the power corresponding to maximal lactate steady state (MLSS). The aim of this study was to investigate the use of CP and VT2 as indicators of MLSS. Eleven male trained subjects [mean (SD) age 23 (2.9) years] performed an incremental test (25 W·min−1) to determine maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max), maximal aerobic power (MAP) and the first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) associated with break points in minute ventilation (V̇E), carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2), V̇E/V̇CO2 and V̇E/V̇O2 relationships. Exhaustion tests at 90%, 95%, 100% and 110% of V̇O2max and several 30-min constant work rates were performed in order to determine CP and MLSS, respectively. MAP and V̇O2max values were 344 (29) W and 53.4 (3.7) ml·min−1·kg−1, respectively. CP [278 (22) W; 85.4 (4.8)% V̇O2max] and VT2 power output [286 (28) W; 85.3 (5.6)% V̇O2max] were not significantly different (p=0.96) but were higher (p<0.05) than the MLSS work rate [239 (21) W; 74.3 (4.0)% V̇O2max] and VT1 power output [159 (23) W; 52.9 (6.9)% V̇O2max]. MLSS work rate was significantly correlated (p<0.05) with those noted at VT1 and VT2 (r=0.74 and r=0.93, respectively). VT2 overestimated MLSS by 10.9 (6.3)% V̇O2max which was significantly higher than VT1 [+21.4 (5.6)% V̇O2max; p<0.01]. CP calculated from a given range of exhaustion times does not correspond to MLSS.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
