Excerpt
Dr. Hughson and Dr. Faisal in their original article “On the method of fitting cardiac output kinetics in severe exercise”, published on the European Journal of Applied Physiology, commented on the approach applied to fit the kinetics of the cardiac output during supra maximal exercise (i.e. above
\( \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\max } ) \) by Adami et al. (
2010), published in a paper appearing in the same issue of the Journal. In their paper, Adami et al. described the responses of oxygen uptake
\( (\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2} ), \) cardiac output
\( (\dot{Q}) \) and muscle deoxygenation (HHb) during moderate and supra maximal intensity cycling exercises. In the latter case, the metabolic power requirement corresponded to 120% of the individual maximal aerobic mechanical power (120%
w max) (for details, see Adami et al.
2010). …
