The agro-pastoralist Maasai of East Africa are highly physically active, but their aerobic fitness has so far only been estimated using heart rate (HR) response to submaximal exercise and not directly measured. Thus, we aimed to measure aerobic fitness directly using respiratory gas analysis in a group of Maasai, and habitual physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) as explanatory variable.

直接测量坦桑尼亚男性马赛人的有氧适能


东非农牧民马赛人的体力活动非常活跃，但迄今为止，他们的有氧适能只能通过心率 (HR) 对次极限运动的反应来估计，而不是直接测量。因此，我们的目的是使用一组马赛人的呼吸气体分析直接测量有氧健康，并以习惯性体力活动能量消耗（PAEE）作为解释变量。
