Oxygen uptake kinetics from ramp work tests: variability of single test values
Abstract
The variability in the estimation of the mean response time (MRT) of O2 uptake (VO2) kinetics from single ramp work rate exercise tests was examined in six repetitions by five fit subjects. Work rate increased at 50 W/min from a base line of 25 W to a work rate of 120% ventilatory threshold. Breath-by-breath data were analyzed by linear regression from 2 min after the onset of the ramp to the 120% work rate. Individual subjects showed …
