"ACSM's Exercise Testing and Prescription takes the content from the bestselling ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription and delivers it in a pedagogically-oriented format. It walks students through the process of selecting and administering fitness assessments, interpreting the results, and creating an exercise/fitness plan that that responds to those results and the needs of each individual. This is a textbook for the exercise testing and prescription course (or courses) that appear in every undergraduate exercise science program, and which prepare students to collect, interpret, and act upon"--

Le but de ce mémoire de recherche clinique est d'obtenir des valeurs normatives pédiatriques pour les différents indices de performances cardiopulmonaires évalués lors des épreuves d'effort sur tapis roulant. La littérature scientifique manque en effet de valeurs ergospirométriques normatives pour les patients pédiatriques, et particulièrement pour les épreuves d'effort réalisées sur tapis roulant. La base de données créée a ensuite été utilisée afin de comparer les patients obèses et les patients opérés de transposition des grands vaisseaux (TGV) et de ventricule unique (VU) aux patients contrôles par appariement cas- témoins. Matériel et méthode : Cette étude a été réalisée rétrospectivement à partir d'une cohorte de 432 enfants sains de 5 à 18 ans (288 garçons et 144 filles) dont 33 présentaient un BMI au-dessus du percentile 97 et constituent la cohorte de patients " obèses ... La cohorte TGV est constituée de 16 garçons et 8 filles. La cohorte VU est constituée de 13 enfants. Les patients ont effectué un effort progressif sur un tapis roulant avec pente progressive et une vitesse croissante suivant un protocole de Bruce modifié. La ventilation et les échanges gazeux ont été mesurés en continu durant tout le test. Résultats : Des différences significatives s'observent entre filles et garçons pour l'âge, le BMI, la V02max, la FCmax, le RERmax, le seuil anaérobe et la durée d'effort. Il n'existe pas de différence statistiquement significative pour la charge max. Nous observons une décroissance post pubertaire de la V02max/ poids chez les filles alors qu'elle reste très stable avec l'âge chez les garçons. La charge max et la V02max sont fortement corrélées à l'âge, à la taille, au poids et à la surface corporelle (BSA). Les corrélations les plus fortes s'observent avec le BSA. La FCmax est faiblement corrélée à l'âge. Nos résultats pour la V02 max, la FCmax, le SA, la charge max et le RERmax sont plus élevés que dans les études sur cycloergomètre mais souvent en deçà des quelques études sur tapis roulant. Nous constatons que la V02 max est surestimée chez les patients obèses quand elle est exprimée en l/ min. Elle est cependant plus basse chez ces patients si elle est rapportée au poids. Chez les patients opérés de TGV, on tend à obtenir des valeurs plus basses mais les différences sont peu significatives. Dans la cohorte VU, la réserve chronotrope et la vo, max sont notamment diminuées. Conclusion : 1] Nous décrivons des valeurs normatives selon l'âge, le sexe et les paramètres anthropométriques qui pourraient être utilisées à l'avenir comme valeurs de référence. 1] La V02max/poids, valeur la plus utilisée dans la littérature a des avantage : elle est très stable avec l'âge surtout chez les garçons, et permet de ne pas surestimer la V02max chez les patients obèses. Toutefois, le BSA semble être un paramètre davantage prédictif de la V02max que le poids. De plus, il est moins influencé par la différence de genre. 3] Si nous comparons tapis roulant et cycloergomètre, nous constatons que les valeurs obtenues sont plus élevées sur tapis roulant (V02 max, FCmax, SA et charge max). Le tapis roulant serait donc un meilleur ergomètre, en effet il pousserait à un exercice plus intense et permet de réaliser des épreuves d'effort chez des enfants plus jeunes. 4] Nous avons constitué une base de données de patients sains et en avons montré quelques applications possibles en comparant des enfants opérés de malformations cardiaques à des patients témoins sélectionnés dans cette base de données. The aim of this study is to obtain normative pediatric values for cardiopulmonary response to exercise tested on a treadmill. There is a lack of normative ergospirometric values in the literature on children, especially for treadmill exercise testing. We use the database created to compare patients operated for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and for single ventricle (SV) with healthy children by case­ control matching. Material and methods: This study was retrospective. Normative patients were 432 healthy children (288 boys and 144 girls) from 5 to 18 performing exercise testing. 33 of these children had IMC above P97, they form the obese group. 16 boys and 8 girls operated for TGA and 13 children operated for SV were compared to healthy children. All these children performed progressive workload on a treadmill with progressive slope and increasing speed (revised Bruce treadmill protocol). Ventilation and gas exchange were measured continuously during the test. Results: There were significant differences between boys and girls for age, body mass index (BMI), maximal oxygen uptake (V02peak), maximal heart rate (HRpeak), anaerobic threshold (AT) and maximal respiratory exchange ratio (RERpeak). There were no significant differences for maximal work rate (Wpeak). We found a postpubertal decrease of V02peak when normalized for weight (ml/ min/kg) in the girl group. Whereas V02peak remain stable with age in the boy group. Wpeak and V02peak are strongly correlated with age, weight, heigt and BSA. The strongest correlation is seen with BSA. HRpeak weakly correlated with age. Our results for V02peak, HRpeak, AT, Wpeak and RERpeak are higher than those obtained on cycloergometer. However, our results are most of the time lower than those obtained on treadmill. We found that V02peak of obese children is overestimated when expressed in litter per minute. V02peak is lower with those patients when normalized by weight. Children operated for TGA tend to have lower exercise result but the differences are not very significant. Children operated for SV had lower HRpeak and V02peak, the difference was significant. Conclusion: 1] We describe normative values for age, sex and anthropometric parameter. We also describe equations predicting these values. These data could be used for reference in exercise testing on treadmill with children. 2] V02peak/ kg is used in lots of publications: it is very stable with age especially for boys and it prevent from overestimating V02peak with obese patients. However, BSA seems to be a better parameterto predict V02peak and is less gender biased. 3] Comparing treadmill and cycloergometer, we found that values are higher on treadmill (V02peak, HRpeak, AT, Wpeak). This indicates that treadmill is a better ergometer pushing to a higher exercise and is easier to use with young children. 4] We created a database of healthy children performing a treadmill exercise and showed some possible application by comparing children operated for congenital heart disease with control subjects of our database.

Since its first published edition more than 30 years ago, the BASES (British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences) Physiological Testing Guidelines have represented the leading knowledge base of current testing methodology for sport and exercise scientists. Sport and exercise physiologists conduct physiological assessments that have proven validity and reliability, both in laboratory and sport-specific contexts. A wide variety of test protocols have been developed, adapted and refined to support athletes of all abilities reach their full potential. This book is a comprehensive guide to these protocols and to the key issues relating to physiological testing. With contributions from leading specialist sport physiologists and covering a wide range of mainstream sports in terms of ethical, practical and methodological issues, this volume represents an essential resource for sport-specific exercise testing in both research and applied settings. This new edition draws on the authors’ experience of supporting athletes from many sports through several Olympic cycles to achieve world leading performances. While drawing on previous editions, it is presented in a revised format matching the sport groupings used in elite sport support within the UK sport institutes. Building on the underpinning general procedures, these specific chapters are supported by appropriate up-to-date case studies in the supporting web resources.
