Assessment of Cardiopulmonary Fitness in Healthy Adults

This project was aimed to investigate cardiorespiratory fitness and the factors affecting cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults. The data obtained with this project will be normative values for the data obtained with CPET in healthy people.

About this study

Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the 'health-related physical fitness' components of physical fitness and can be expressed as 'the ability of the heart, lung and vascular system to deliver oxygen and nutrients to working muscles'. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a common procedure used to assess cardiopulmonary fitness, identify physiological factors limiting exercise, identify potential therapeutic targets for these factors, and evaluate the effects of an intervention. Therefore, in this project, it was aimed to investigate cardiorespiratory fitness and the factors affecting cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults. The data obtained with this project will be normative values for the data obtained with CPET in healthy people.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 18-65 years of age,
  • Volunteering to participate in the study,
  • Co-operation,

Treatment and study plan

Healthy group

Other

Cardiopulmonary exercise test, respiratory function tests, respiratory muscle strength and physical activity assessment will be performed in this group.

Primary outcomes

  1. Cardiorespiratory Fitness

    Time frame: This test takes 15 to 20 minutes.

    In this parameter, which is assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the oxygen consumption measured during the test and the workload achieved in the test will be taken into consideration.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Respiratory Function Test

    Time frame: This test takes 3 to 5 minutes.

    The pulmonary function test is a test that assesses respiratory function by performing certain manoeuvres.

  2. Respiratory Muscle Strength Test

    Time frame: This test takes 3 to 5 minutes.

    Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strengths will be measured separately by breathing manoeuvres.

  3. Physical Activity

    Time frame: This questionnaire takes 1 minute.

    Physical activity level will be measured with International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
