The role of aerobic capacity (maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max) in connection with chronic low-back pain was assessed in a study mainly designed to evaluate the outcome of inpatient and outpatient treatment of low-back pain. A total of 245 subjects (ages 35-54 years, 71% men)--81 inpatients, 88 outpatients, and 76 controls--who had chronic low-back pain but who were still working, performed maximal graded bicycle ergometer tests four times during the follow-up of 30 months. In every group the estimated VO2max was on the level of the reference values of healthy persons. There were no significant changes in the VO2max in any of the intervention groups during the follow-up period. The correlation analyses showed no connection between aerobic capacity and pain or disability caused by chronic low-back pain. Among several components of physical fitness, aerobic capacity had no predictive value in the course of low-back pain.
在一项主要旨在评估腰痛住院和门诊治疗结果的研究中，对有氧能力（最大摄氧量，VO2max）与慢性腰痛的关系进行了评估。共有245名受试者（年龄35 - 54岁，71%为男性）——81名住院患者、88名门诊患者和76名对照者——患有慢性腰痛但仍在工作，在30个月的随访期间进行了4次最大分级自行车测力计测试。每组中估计的VO2max处于健康人的参考值水平。在随访期间，任何干预组的VO2max均无显著变化。相关性分析表明，有氧能力与慢性腰痛引起的疼痛或残疾之间没有关联。在身体素质的几个组成部分中，有氧能力对腰痛的病程没有预测价值。
