Between-day variablity of VO2, VCO2 and heart rate for variable work rate
Description
Measurements of VO2, VCO2 and heart rate are central to methods for assessment of physical fitness and endurance capabilities in athletes. The aim of this study is to quantify the between-day variablity of VO2, VCO2 and heart rate measurements during ergometer tests with variable work rate.
Tasks
- Design suitable ergometer test protocols with variable work rate.
- Perform ergometer tests.
- Data analysis.
Prerequisites
Knowlegde of ergospirometry is of advantage.
