Reliability of VO2max and Muscle Oxygenation Measures During Upper- and Lower-Body Air-Braked Ergometry
This research study aims to assess the reliability or consistency of variables associated with a maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) test when performed on an air-braked ergometer that uses both the upper and lower body. A VO2max test is an exercise bout that increases intensity progressively to identify the maximum amount of oxygen an individual can utilize during maximal effort exercise. Traditionally, VO2max is measured using a treadmill or stationary bike, however, this study uses an alternative type of equipment, a full-body air-braked ergometer.
