To validate a new perceptually regulated, self-paced maximal oxygen consumption field test (the Running Advisor Billat Training [RABIT] test) that can be used by recreational runners to define personalized training zones.
In a cross-sectional study, male and female recreational runners (N = 12; mean [SD] age = 43 [8] y) completed 3 maximal exercise tests (2 RABIT tests and a University of Montreal Track Test), with a 48-hour interval between tests.
The University of Montreal Track Test was a continuous, incremental track test with a 0.5-km·h-1 increment every minute until exhaustion. The RABIT tests were conducted at intensities of 11, 14, and 17 on the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale for 10, 5, and 3 minutes, respectively, with a 1-minute rest between efforts.
The 2 RABIT tests and the University of Montreal Track Test gave similar mean (SD) maximal oxygen consumption values (53.9 [6.4], 56.4 [9.1], and 55.4 [7.6] mL·kg-1·min-1, respectively, P = .722). The cardiorespiratory and speed responses were reliable as a function of the running intensity (RPE: 11, 14, and 17) and the relative time point for each RPE stage. Indeed, the oxygen consumption, heart rate, ventilation, and speed values did not differ significantly when the running time was expressed as a relative duration of 30%, 60%, or 90% (ie, at 3, 6, and 9 min of a 10-min effort at RPE 11; P = .997).
The results demonstrate that the RABIT test is a valid method for defining submaximal and maximal training zones in recreational runners.
验证一种新的感知调节、自我调节最大摄氧量现场测试（Running Advisor Billat Training [RABIT] 测试），该测试可被休闲跑者用于定义个性化训练区。
在一项横断面研究中，男性和女性休闲跑者（N=12；平均[标准差]年龄=43[8]岁）完成了 3 次最大运动测试（2 次 RABIT 测试和蒙特利尔大学田径测试），两次测试之间间隔 48 小时。
蒙特利尔大学田径测试是一项连续递增的田径测试，每 1 分钟增加 0.5 公里·小时-1，直至力竭。RABIT 测试在感知用力等级（RPE）量表上分别以 11、14 和 17 的强度进行 10、5 和 3 分钟，每个强度之间休息 1 分钟。
2 次 RABIT 测试和蒙特利尔大学田径测试得出的最大摄氧量平均值（SD）相似（分别为 53.9[6.4]、56.4[9.1]和 55.4[7.6]mL·kg-1·min-1，P=.722）。心肺功能和速度反应随跑步强度（RPE：11、14 和 17）和每个 RPE 阶段的相对时间点而可靠。实际上，当跑步时间表示为 30%、60%或 90%（即在 RPE 11 时，10 分钟努力的第 3、6 和 9 分钟）的相对持续时间时，摄氧量、心率、通气和速度值没有显著差异（P=.997）。
结果表明，RABIT 测试是确定休闲跑者亚最大和最大训练区的有效方法。
