Studies you’d like to see?
I volunteer at a local university wellness program and we have a high quality iDXA, VO2 setup up and lactic acid measurement system (though I’ve not seen this used allot)
I’m super interested in collecting anonymized data and doing some analysis. My first thought is validating some of the HRR (heart rate recovery) studies as a proxy for VO2. I’d also like to do some comparisons between bio-impedance devices and iDXA. Priority should be given to new studies, but replication could be valuable as well. Any reference to existing studies for ideas offered would be helpful.
Another thought was around the performance benefits of seeing real time data/feedback when doing VO2 measurements.
I’d love to hear other ideas. We have the potential of doing experimental paired before/after studies with some of the aligned programs at the university. I think the easiest population to do this with would be an older group ranging from 55-80+ with a mean age of 65.
Funding is always an issue - so using existing data or what would normally be gathered is helpful.
I welcome your ideas.
Thanks!!
