Determination of the velocity associated with &OV0312;O2max

Abstract

Therefore, when vVO2max is determined by extrapolation from the submaximal VO2-velocity relationships, submaximal VO2 should be measured beyond the 6th minute of square-wave exercise (at least if it takes 30 s to reach the desired velocity) to ensure that all vVO2max reported in future studies describe a similar quantitative index.
