Difference in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) determined by incremental and ramp tests

摘要: The purpose of this study was to compare maximal oxygen uptake and ventilatory threshold values in elite cyclists during incremental ramp tests. research material included ten male cyclists; body height 182.6±6.1 cm; mass 70.2±5.5 kg; fat 8.8±3.2%. experiment had two phases, separated by one day active recovery. During the first phase, test (T40x3) carried out determine VO2max, (VAT) lactate thresholds (LT) each subject. protocol began with a work load 120 W which increased 40 every 3 min until volitional exhaustion. second athlete performed ergocycle (T30x1) (30 per 1 min) where linearly (0.5 s) exhaustion, establish VO2max. Values VO2max determined T30x1 were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those T40x3 exercise protocol. same tendencies also observed (WRmax), minute ventilation (VEmax), respiratory ratio (RERmax) heart rate (HRmax). WRmax, VEmax, RERmax, HRmax comparison T40x3. WRVAT at This true for WRLT
