Noninvasive CPET in an 18-Year-Old Male Collegiate Rower

Level 1 CPET Parameter	Results
Power output at maximal exercise, W	280
VO2 max, L/min	3.02 (35.1 mL/kg/min, 78% predicted)
VE/VCO2 slope	36.7
Breathing reserve, %	36
Max VE, L/min	123.8
O2 pulse, mL/beat	15.1 (78% predicted)
Peak heart rate, beats/min	191
Peak BP, mm Hg	172/81
Nadir O2 saturation, %	94

BP = blood pressure; CPET = cardiopulmonary exercise test; VE = minute ventilation; VE/VCO₂ = minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production slope; VO₂max = maximal oxygen uptake.
