Sex-Specific Equations to Estimate Maximum Oxygen Uptake in Cycle Ergometry

Abstract Background: Aerobic fitness, assessed by measuring VO2max in maximum cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) or by estimating VO2max through the use of equations in exercise testing, is a predictor of mortality. However, the error resulting from this estimate in a given individual can be hig...
