Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of running with a jogging stroller (JS) on oxygen consumption (VO
2
), heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). This study included 2 parts: Part 1 involved participants (N=15) running on an indoor track and Part 2 involved participants (N=12) running on a paved greenway. All participants completed 6, one-mile trials randomized over 2 visits: 3 were completed at a predetermined pace (160.8 m·min
− 1
) without a JS (NoJS), with 11.36 kg in the JS (JS1), and 22.72 kg in the JS (JS2) and 3 were self-paced and included NoJS, JS1, and JS2. VO
2
and HR were measured using a portable metabolic system and telemetry. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to determine differences among conditions. Part 1, there were no differences in VO
2
across conditions, but HR and RPE were significantly higher (
P
<0.05) during the JS trials compared to the NoJS trials. Part 2, VO
2
and RPE during JS trials were higher than NoJS trials (
P
<0.05). No significant differences were found in HR. The results indicate that it is feasible to run while pushing a JS with minimal increases in exertion compared to running without a JS.
