Statistical model ignores ‘age’, products of peak Q and a–vO₂ difference greatly exceed \(\dot{\text {V}}{\text{O}_{2}}\hbox{max}\) and different ergometers confound validity

Excerpt

The rationale for the study of Jenkins et al. (2016) is founded on the previous reports of higher \(\dot{\text {V}}{\text{O}_{2}}\hbox{max}\) from SPV compared to standard incremental protocols. Reference to additional studies which observed similar \(\dot{\text {V}}{\text{O}_{2}}\hbox{max}\) and/or VEmax (e.g. Hanson et al. 2016 among others) during SPV would be informative, especially given the problem of comparing \(\dot{\text {V}}{\text{O}_{2}}\hbox{max}\) (or any other measure) from SPV against standard protocols when different ergometers are used (Eston et al. 2014). …
