Abstract

Purpose: Poor cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with increased all cause morbidity and mortality. In children with obesity, maximum oxygen uptake (VO_2max) may not be achieved due to reduced motivation and peripheral fatigue. We aimed to identify a valid submaximal surrogate for VO_2max in children with obesity. Method: Ninety-two children with obesity (7-16 years) completed a maximal exercise treadmill test and entered a three-month exercise and/or nutrition intervention after which the exercise test was repeated (n = 63). Participants were required to reach VO_2max to be included in this analysis (n = 32 at baseline and n = 13 at both time-points). The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) was determined as the slope of the line when VO₂ (L/min) was plotted against logV? E. Associations between the maximal OUES, submaximal OUES (at 3, 4, 5 and 6 min of the exercise test) and VO_2max were calculated. Results: In the cross-sectional analysis, V?O2max (L/min) was strongly correlated with 5-min OUES independent of Tanner puberty stage and sex (R² = .80, p < .001). Longitudinal changes in VO_2max were closely reflected by changes in 5-min OUES independent of change in percent body fat (R² = .63, p < .05). Conclusion: The 5-min OUES is a viable alternative to VO_2max when assessing children with obesity.
