      submaximal exercise test as an alternative for a maximal exercise test?

AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine the use of a submaximal exercise test in detecting change 
      in fitness level after a physical training program, and to investigate the 
      correlation of outcomes as measured submaximally or maximally. DESIGN: A 
      prospective study in which exercise testing was performed before and after 
      training intervention. SETTING: Academic and general hospital and rehabilitation 
      center. PARTICIPANTS: Cancer survivors (N=147) (all cancer types, medical 
      treatment completed > or =3 mo ago) attended a 12-week supervised exercise 
      program. INTERVENTIONS: A 12-week training program including aerobic training, 
      strength training, and group sport. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Outcome measures were 
      changes in peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2)peak) and peak power output (both determined 
      during exhaustive exercise testing) and submaximal heart rate (determined during 
      submaximal testing at a fixed workload). RESULTS: The Vo(2)peak and peak power 
      output increased and the submaximal heart rate decreased significantly from 
      baseline to postintervention (P<.001). Changes in submaximal heart rate were only 
      weakly correlated with changes in Vo(2)peak and peak power output. Comparing the 
      participants performing submaximal testing with a heart rate less than 140 beats 
      per minute (bpm) versus the participants achieving a heart rate of 140 bpm or 
      higher showed that changes in submaximal heart rate in the group cycling with 
      moderate to high intensity (ie, heart rate > or =140 bpm) were clearly related to 
      changes in VO(2)peak and peak power output. CONCLUSIONS: For the monitoring of 
      training progress in daily clinical practice, changes in heart rate at a fixed 
      submaximal workload that requires a heart rate greater than 140 bpm may serve as 
      an alternative to an exhaustive exercise test.
