A square-wave verification bout to confirm maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O 2max ) from a graded exercise test (GXT) has been recommended based on mean responses. This study used the test-retest reliability, mean, and individual differences between the highest V̇O 2 from the GXT (V̇O 2GXT ) and verificati...
