Abstract

The aim was to examine the association between this breakpoint (NIRS) and VT2 in welltrained runners.Gas exchange and NIRS data were collected during an incremental VO2max running test for 10 well-trained runners.The breakpoint calculated in oxygen saturation (StO2) and the VT2 were determined and compared in terms relative to %VO2max, absolute speed, VO2 and maximum heart rate (HRmax).There were no significant differences (p>0.05) between the breakpoint in StO2 and VT2 relative to %VO2max (87.00±6.14 and 88.28±3.98 %), absolute speed (15.70±1.42 and 16.10±1.66km•h -1 ), VO2 (53.71±15.17and 54.66±15.57ml•kg -1 •min -1 ) and %HRmax (90.90± 4.17 and 91.84 ± 3.70 %).There were large and significant correlations between instruments relative to %VO2max (r=0.68,p<0.05), absolute speed (r=0.86,p<0.001),VO2 (r=0.86,p<0.001) and %HRmax (r = 0.69; p<0.05).A Bland and Altman analysis of agreement between instruments resulted in a mean difference of -1.27±4.49%,-0.40±0.84km•h -1 , -0.90±3.07ml•kg -1 •min -1 , and -0.94±3.14 for %VO2max, absolute speed, VO2 and %HRmax, respectively.We conclude that a portable NIRS determination of the StO2 breakpoint is comparable with VT2 using gas exchange and therefore appropriate for use in determining exercise training above VT2 intensity.This is the first study to analyze the validity with the running mode using a NIRS portable device.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
