An evaluator-independent substitute for anaerobic threshold(AT)

OBJECTIVE AT is often employed as a measure of exercise tolerance. It, however, is visually determined on the graph and evaluator-dependent. The point where the v-slope (VO sub(2) vs VCO sub(2) relation) intersects the line of respiratory exchange ratio (R) of 1 is evaluator-independent. Yet this po...

Summary:OBJECTIVE AT is often employed as a measure of exercise tolerance. It, however, is visually determined on the graph and evaluator-dependent. The point where the v-slope (VO sub(2) vs VCO sub(2) relation) intersects the line of respiratory exchange ratio (R) of 1 is evaluator-independent. Yet this point may be greatly influenced by tissue CO2 storage effect(CS) in a non-steady state exercise such as the ramp protocol. We hypothesized that by employing a steady state (SS) exercise protocol and using only SS values RIP will be determined free of CS.
