The aim of this study was to compare the central and peripheral components of cardiorespiratory fitness during incremental to maximal exercise between older men who were either recreational athletes (RA) or leisurely active (LA) men, i.e., those who fall between trained and untrained. This was a cross-sectional study in which all subjects completed an exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO(2max)) and ventilatory threshold (VT) were assessed using gas analysis, and central components of VO(2max) were assessed using a non-invasive thoracic bio-impedance device. VO(2max) (RA: 45.1+/-4.8 ml/kg/min; LA: 32.2+/-4.6 ml/kg/min, p&lt;/=0.001) and SV at maximal exercise (RA: 133.5+/-24.96 ml/beat; LA: 107.9+/-17.6 ml/beat, p=0.005) were higher in the RA group compared to the LA group. A plateau in SV occurred between 30-45 % of maximal exercise capacity in the RA group. No differences in SV were observed across workloads in the LA group. No differences in the calculated arterio-venous oxygen difference ((a-v)O(2diff)) were observed between groups. In conclusions, training volume appears to influence central components of cardiorespiratory fitness among a matched sample of older men who are neither trained nor untrained. This builds a case for increasing the volume of training to preserve cardiorespiratory fitness among older men.
