Background : We have demonstrated the usefulness of a new index, oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES), as a submaximal measure of cardiorespiratory functional reserve using pediatric patients with cardiac disease. However, the clinical application of this index for the estimation of endurance athletic performance has yet to be demonstrated. Objectives : To elucidate the usefulness of OUES as a measure of endurance athletic performance. Methods : Thirty-one male athletes (age : 19.8 ± 1.6 years; body weight : 59.7 ± 6.6kg) participated in the study. Each subject underwent a graded maximal exercise test on a bicycle ergometer. The relationships between VO_2max, OUES, and VAT were analyzed with simple regression analysis. Results : The correlation coefficients between VO_2max and OUES, VO_2max and VAT, and VAT and OUES were 0.871 (p<0.001), 0.686 (p<0.001), and 0.704 (p<0.001), respectively. When these values were corrected by body weight, the correlation coefficients were 0.905 (p<0.001), 0.703 (p<0.001), and 0.783 (p<0.001), respectively. Conclusion : This study suggests the potential usefulness of OUES as a measure for the estimation of endurance athletic performance at competitive levels.
