Purpose We tested the hypothesis that CP, RCP, MLSS, and [HHb] BP occur at the same
metabolic intensity by examining the pulmonary oxygen uptake (V) O2p and power output …

The cardiovascular and skeletal muscle systems are intrinsically interconnected, sharing the
goal of delivering oxygen to metabolically active tissue. Deficiencies within those systems …

In cycling, critical power (CP) and work above CP (W') can be estimated through linear and
nonlinear models. Despite the concept of CP representing the upper boundary of …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Can the near‐infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS)‐derived reperfusion rate (slope 2) of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) be correlated …

Critical power (CP) conceptually represents the highest power output (PO) at physiological
steady-state. In cycling exercise, CP is traditionally derived from the hyperbolic relationship …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? In groups of young and older adults,
we investigated whether techniques used as common practice for processing breath‐by …

The accuracy of an exhaustive ramp incremental (RI) test to determine maximal oxygen
uptake (V˙ O2max) was recently questioned and the utilization of a verification phase …

During heavy and severe constant-load exercise, VO 2 displays a slow component (VO 2sc)
typically interpreted as a loss of efficiency of locomotion. In the ongoing debate on the …

Purpose In theory, a slow oxygen uptake (̇ VO_2 V˙ O 2) kinetics leads to a greater
accumulation of anaerobic by-products, which can, in turn, induce more neuromuscular …

Heart rate (HR) targets are commonly used to administer exercise intensity in sport and
clinical practice. However, as exercise protracts, a time-dependent dissociation between HR …
