BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary exercise testing evaluates the ability of one's cardiovascular and respiratory system in maximal exercise. This was a descriptive cross-sectional pilot study conducted at Masih Daneshvari Hospital in order to determine predicted values of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in individuals with normal physical activity patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty four individ...

The current study was designed to assess the contribution of dietary-induced weight reduction on improvements in functional capacity in moderate obesity. Twelve females (means age = 29 yr, means fat percentage = 37%) served as subjects for the study. Subjects trained on a cycle ergometer 30 min.day-1, six day.wk-1 for three or six weeks at 75 to 85 per cent of maximum heart rate (HR max). Impro...

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is the maximum amount of attainable by a person during exercise. VO2 max used in different domains including sports and medical sciences usually measured an incremental treadmill or cycle ergometer test. The drawback directly measuring using maximal test that it expensive requires fixed controlled protocol. During last decade, various machine learning models have...

Like other endurance athletes, competitive cyclists have exceptionally high maximal oxygen consumption values. But the author feels Vo2 max shouldn't stand alone as a predictor of success.
