Validity and reliability of seismocardiography for the estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low cardiorespiratory fitness (ie, peak oxygen consumption [V.O₂peak]) is associated with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality and is recognized as an important clinical tool in the assessment of patients. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is the gold standard procedure for determination of V.O₂peak but has methodological challenges as it is time-consuming and requires specialized equipment and trained professionals. Seismofit is a chest-mounted medical device for estimating V.O₂peak at rest using seismocardiography.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of Seismofit V.O₂peak estimation in a healthy population.

Methods

On 3 separate days, 20 participants (
