This study was designed to determine the optimal intensity for verification phase testing (VP)
in healthy, young adults. Thirty one young, active participants (16 females) completed a …

Supramaximal testing is widely used to verify VO 2 max attainment, yet its efficacy in
sedentary subjects is unknown. The aim of the study was to test this hypothesis in men and …

The verification bout has emerged as a technique for confirming 'true'VO 2max; however,
validity during a single visit is unknown. We evaluated 3 different GXT durations with severe …

We sought to determine the incidence of 'true'VO 2 max confirmation with the verification
procedure across different protocols. 12 active participants (men n= 6, women n= 6) …

The aim of the present study was to test the utility of the verification testing procedure in
confirming “true” VO2max in older adults completing maximal cycle ergometry. Eighteen …

The aim of the present study was to assess the validity of verification phase (VP) testing and
a 3 min all-out test to determine critical power (CP) in males with obesity. Nine young adult …

Graded exercise testing (GXT) is the most widely used assessment to examine the dynamic
relationship between exercise and integrated physiological systems. The information from …

A widely cited recommendation is that to elicit valid maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O 2max)
values, incremental exercise tests should last between 8 and 12 minutes. However, this …

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is an important, independent predictor of cardiovascular
health and mortality. Despite this, it is rarely measured in clinical practice. The aim of this …

Purpose Testing of the ventilatory threshold (VT) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2peak) is
relevant for the evaluation of a range of training studies, clinical trials and cross‐sectional …
