Abstract

[Purpose] In this study we investigated the utility of the incrementally repeated stand-up test (IRST) as an evaluation of physical capacity. [Subjects] The subjects were 45 young healthy persons. [Methods] We measured maximum voluntary ventilation, muscle strength ratio, muscle mass of the lower extremity, the index of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX), and IRST. [Results] There was a significant difference between peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) of CPX and peak oxygen uptake of IRST. We conduced regression analysis on repetitive rising motion times and peak VO2 on CPX or on IRST. Regression analysis gave significant results for CPX Peak-VO2=0.1 × repeated stand-up times +14.5 and IRST Peak-VO2=0.07 × repeated stand-up times +18.1 [Conclusion] We consider that the repeated stand-up times can be used to predict peak VO2.<br>
