Abstract
Overall, submaximal exercise-based equations using open circuit spirometry to predict VËO2max are moderately to highly accurate. The heart rate and rating of perceived exertion methods of predicting VËO2max were of similar accuracy. Important factors to consider when selecting a predictive equation include: the level of exertion required; participant medical conditions or medications; the validation population; mode of ergometry; time and resources available for familiarisation trials; and the level of bias of the study from which equations are derived.
