Table 2. Comparison between the cardiorespiratory variables obtained in the ISWT and in the CEPT.
| Outcome | ISWT (n = 40) | CEPT (n = 40) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| VO2 peak (mL/kg/min) | 30.20(4.78) | 30.35(4.81) | 0.842 |
| R peak | 1.22(0.13) | 1.18(0.1) | 0.022* |
| HR max (bpm) | 187.6(9.26) | 186.7(9.63) | 0.460 |
| Predicted HR max (%) | 97.25(4.51) | 96.77(4.69) | 0.463 |
The data is presented as mean (SD).
* P<0.05.
ISWT = Incremental Shuttle Walking Test; CEPT = cardiopulmonary exercise test; VO2 = oxygen uptake; R = respiratory exchange ratio; HR = heart rate; Paired-t test.
