Journal of the Association of Physicians of India. 1991 Jul; 39(7): 534-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/86401Fifty healthy subjects underwent incremental exercise on a treadmill. Anaerobic threshold (AT) and maximum oxygen consumed in litres per minute (VO2 max) were measured. VO2 max (mean +/- SD) in males and females was 2.71 +/- 0.5 and 2.014 +/- 0.4 L/min respectively. AT as a percentage of VO2 max predicted was 58 in males and 56 in females. These values were comparable to Western studies. Anaerobic threshold is the most sensitive indicator of exercise performance.engAdultAnaerobic Threshold --physiologyBody WeightCarbon Dioxide --metabolismElectrocardiographyFemaleHeart Rate --physiologyHumansMaleOxygen Consumption --physiologyPhysical Exertion --physiologyWork Capacity EvaluationComparative Study
