Prediction of Cardio-respiratory Fitness Utilizing a Modified Step Test Protocol
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the newly developed Jackrabbit step test equation and to determine if the Jackrabbit equation is more reliable than the Queen’s College step test (QCST). It was hypothesized that the Jackrabbit equation would …

Effects of detraining on cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses after six weeks high-intensity cycling
… evaluated novel submaximal indicators of cardio-respiratory fitness during high constant-load (HCL) exercise tests in response to detraining. A central variable was the slow component VO₂ (SC); SC is defined as the difference between end-exercise VO₂ and 3-min VO₂ (Gaesser et a1. ESSR, 1996). …

Theoretical and psychometric specificity of self-regulation for physical activity: Validating measures of self-regulation
… negative health outcomes and in improving cardio respiratory fitness. However, there is little consensus as to what mediates the relationship between PA interventions and PA behaviors. Numerous studies have identified self-regulation as a proximal mediator of PA interventions, but there appears to …

School-based health promotion: understanding the educational context to facilitate change
… use, break time step cadence and cardio-respiratory fitness. Boys reported greater use of playground infrastructure than girls. Regular use of some items (e.g., playing fields) was associated with a higher break time step cadence and fitness test score. Gender differences were observed in …

Machine learning to model health with multimodal mobile sensor data
… tasks of predicting mental health and cardio-respiratory fitness through sensor data. First, we study the relationship of passive data as collected from smartphones (movement and background audio) to momentary mood levels. Our new training pipeline, which combines different sensor data into a …

The effect of structured and lifestyle physical activity interventions on the bone health and body composition of 9-11 year old children
… uniaxial accelerometer, maturity status, cardia-respiratory fitness and skin-fold measurements in addition to body composition, bone mineral content and density. Analysis of variance was used to uncover any sex differences, partial correlation analysis was performed to investigate relationships …

Physical fitness and cardiovascular function in multiple sclerosis
… that can promote disability progression. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and, to a lesser extent, muscular fitness (MF) have been shown to improve CV function in healthy populations. This thesis examined the relationships between CRF, MF, and exercise presented by randomized controlled trials …
