Comparison of a continuous and discontinuous graded treadmill test for maximal oxygen uptake
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to compare a single session continuous-graded treadmill protocol for determining maxVo2 in healthy male subjects with the multi-session discontinuous-graded treadmill procedure described by Taylor and his co-workers. Twenty young adults served as subjects for the study. The treadmill protocols were administered in random order to all subjects. The total experiment for each subject was completed within a two-week time span. No significant differences in mean Vo2 were found between the two test procedures. To establish the similarity of the two tests, confidence limits for the differences between means were calculated for the continuous test versus the discontinuous procedure for various samples sizes. The data support the hypothesis that the continuous test applied permits reasonably accurate measurement of maxVo2 in group studies.

“These results confirm the myriad of research indicating that utilization of a discontinuous protocol to assess V O 2max does not provide any additional testing validity (12, 24, 26, 27).”

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.
