TY - JOUR A1 - Zinner, Christoph A1 - Sperlich, Billy A1 - Wahl, Patrick A1 - Mester, Joachim T1 - Classification of selected cardiopulmonary variables of elite athletes of different age, gender, and disciplines during incremental exercise testing JF - SpringerPlus N2 - Incremental exercise testing is frequently used as a tool for evaluating determinants of endurance performance. The available reference values for the peak oxygen uptake \((VO_{2peak})\), % of \(VO_{2peak}\) , running speed at the lactate threshold \((v_{LT})\), running economy (RE), and maximal running speed \((v_{peak})\) for different age, gender, and disciplines are not sufficient for the elite athletic population. The key variables of 491 young athletes (age range 12–21 years; 250 males, 241 females) assessed during a running step test protocol \((2.4 m s^{−1} ; increase 0.4 m s^{−1} 5 min^{−1})\) were analysed in five subgroups, which were related to combat-, team-, endurance-, sprint- and power-, and racquet-related disciplines. Compared with female athletes, male athletes achieved a higher \(v_{peak}\) (P = 0.004). The body mass, lean body mass, height, abs. \(VO_{2peak} (ml min^{−1})\), rel. \(VO_{2peak} (ml kg^{−1} min^{−1})\), rel. \(VO_{2peak} (ml min^{−1} kg^{−0.75})\), and RE were higher in the male participants compared with the females (P < 0.01). The % of \(VO_2\) at \(v_{LT}\) was lower in the males compared with the females (P < 0.01). No differences between gender were detected for the \(v_{LT}\) (P = 0.17) and % of \(VO_2\) at \(v_{LT}\) (P = 0.42). This study is one of the first to provide a broad spectrum of data to classify nearly 500 elite athletes aged 12–21 years of both gender and different disciplines.

Sie spielen eine wesentliche Rolle bei Immundefekten und Autoimmunprozessen. In dieser Arbeit sollen Entwicklungsveränderungen der peripheren B-Zell-Populationen von der Kindheit bis zum Erwachsenenalter charakterisiert und altersabhängige Referenzwerte generiert werden. In einer durchflusszytometrischen Analyse wurden dafür sowohl relative als auch absolute Häufigkeiten für naive B-Zellen, Gedächtnis-B-Zellen, Transitionalzellen, Plasmablasten und CD21 low CD38 low B-Zellen untersucht. Die meisten B-Zell-Subpopulationen zeigen spezifische ontogenetische Veränderungen. N2 - B-cells are the cellular components of the humoral defense of the adaptive immune system. They play an important role in immunodeficiency or autoimmune diseases. In this work developmental changes in peripheral B-cell-populations have been characterizied from infancy to adulthood in order to define age-dependent reference values. Using a Flow cytometric approach frequencies and absolute counts of naive B-cells, memory B-cells, transitional B-cells, plasmablasts and CD21 low CD38 low B-cells have been analyzied. Most of B-cell-subpopulations underlie developmental changes during ontogeny.
