Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological responses of the Incremental Spot Marching Exercise Test in healthy subjects. Eleven male (age 21.3 ± 1.1 years) performed the Spot Marching Exercise test with progressive incremental. Oxygen consumption, heart rate and Borg’s rating of perceived exertion was measured at pre-, during and symptom limited end exercise testing. The results demonstrated that baseline VO2, end exercise VO2and VO2peak were average 0.3 ± 0.1 L/min, 2.1 ± 0.2 L/min and 2.3 ± 0.2 L/min, respectively. End exercise HR was average 181.8 ± 4.7 bpm and RPE was 15.5 ± 0.8. In conclusion, VO2and HR were increased when using the Incremental Spot Marching Exercise Test.
