    Abstract:
    The effect of a progressively increasing work rate (15 W X min-1) up to exhaustion on the time course of O2 uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE) and heart rate (HR) has been studied in weight lifters (WL) in comparison to endurance cyclists (Cycl) and sedentary controls (Sed). VO2 and VE were measured as average value of 30-s intervals by a semiautomatic open circuit method. VO2max was 2.55 +/- 0.33; 4.29 +/- 0.53 and 2.86 +/- 0.19 l X min-1 in WL, Cycl and Sed respectively. With time and work rate, while VO2 and HR increased linearly, VE changed its slope at two levels. The 1st VE change occurred at a work load corresponding to a mean (+/- SD) VO2 of 1.50 +/- 0.26; 1.93 +/- 0.34; and 1.23 +/- 0.14 l X min-1 in WL, Cycl, and Sed respectively. VO2 values corresponding to the second VE change of slope were 2.18 +/- 0.32 in WL; 3.48 +/- 0.53 in Cycl and 2.17 +/- 0.28 l X min-1 in Sed. The first change of slope might be the consequence of the different readjustment of VO2 on-response and hence of early lactate in the different subjects. The second change seems to be comparable to the conventional anaerobic threshold and is achieved in all subjects when VE vs time slope is 7-10 l X min-1/min of exercise.
