Real Assessment of Maximum Oxygen Uptake as a Verification After an Incremental Test Versus Without a Test.

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to compare peak oxygen uptake (VO_2peak) measured with the incremental graded test (GXT) (VO_{2 peak}) and two tests to verify maximum oxygen uptake, performed 15 min after the incremental test (VO_{2 peak 1}) and on a separate day (VO_{2 peak 2}). The aim was to determine which of the verification tests is more accurate and, more generally, to validate the VO_{2 max} obtained in the incremental graded test on cycle ergometer. The study involved 23 participants with varying levels of physical activity. Analysis of variance showed no statistically significant differences for repeated measurements (F = 2.28, p = 0.118, η² = 0.12). Bland-
