Abstract EN
Graded exercise testing (GXT) is the most widely used assessment to examine the dynamic relationship between exercise and integrated physiological systems.
The information from GXT can be applied across the spectrum of sport performance, occupational safety screening, research, and clinical diagnostics.
The suitability of GXT to determine a valid maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) has been under investigation for decades.
Although a set of recommended criteria exists to verify attainment of VO2max, the methods that originally established these criteria have been scrutinized.
Many studies do not apply identical criteria or fail to consider individual variability in physiological responses.
As an alternative to using traditional criteria, recent research efforts have been directed toward using a supramaximal verification protocol performed after a GXT to confirm attainment of VO2max.
Furthermore, the emergence of self-paced protocols has provided a simple, yet reliable approach to designing and administering GXT.
In order to develop a standardized GXT protocol, additional research should further examine the utility of self-paced protocols used in conjunction with verification protocols to elicit and confirm attainment of VO2max.
