Pedal Rate Influence on Oxygen Consumption in Eccentric

Summary

Nowadays, ECC exercise can be realized using various modalities that target small or large muscle masses in a segmentary or dynamic way. The training program proposed in this study is realised on an handmade ergocycle which allows eccentric contractions.

With this type of ergometer, O2 consumption (VO2) is three to five fold lower than during an exercise realised at the same power output with a concentric ergocycle. Due to this later propertie, which origins are not yet fully identified, there is an increasing interest to embed ECC in rehabilitation programs.

The investigators hypothesis that a higher pedal rate will induce a lower oxygen consumption, with the same benefits.

This study aims to compare oxygen consumption at two pedal rates : 50 and 80 rotation per minute (rpm).

The ultimate goal is to assess efficacy and tolerance of eccentric training on ergocycle and to enhance comprehension of the physiological mecanisms involved in the lower O2 consumption observed.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

pedal rate on 50 RPM

All measurements are performed in two pedalling situations. The two frequencies used will be 50 and 80 RPM. For each subject the running order (50 and 80, 80 and 50) is randomly determined

PROCEDURE

pedal rate on 80 RPM

All measurements are performed in two pedalling situations. The two frequencies used will be 50 and 80 RPM. For each subject the running order (50 and 80, 80 and 50) is randomly determined
