The effect of arm exercise on the energy cost of StairMaster stepping in males

[摘要] This study compared the metabolic responses of StairMaster4009PT (SM) stepping with the addition of upper bodyexercise (WA) using the UB Sports Fitness Trainer (UBSFT) tdSM stepping with no arm use (WOA). Step depth WA and WOAwere also biomechanically analyzed. Twenty-two active males(19-32 yrs) completed 2, 20-minute tesks on the SM. Thetests consisted of stepping at 4, 5-min workrates ( 3 , 5, 7,and 9). Two alternating vrorkrates required arm usage on thefirst testing day and the other two w~rkrates on the secondtesting day. During all tests expired air was analyzedusing open circuit spirometary, MR and RPE were recorded, andstep depth was videotaped.
