Assessment of Cardiopulmonary Fitness in Healthy Adults

Recruiting

• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT06573255
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cardiorespiratory Fitness	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Respiratory Function Test	This test takes 3 to 5 minutes.	The pulmonary function test is a test that assesses respiratory function by performing certain manoeuvres.
Respiratory Muscle Strength Test	This test takes 3 to 5 minutes.	Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strengths will be measured separately by breathing manoeuvres.
Physical Activity	This questionnaire takes 1 minute.	Physical activity level will be measured with International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
