Test-Retest Reliability of Physiological Variables During Submaximal Seated Upper-Body Poling in Able-Bodied Participants.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To investigate the test-retest reliability of physiological variables across four different test days and four different submaximal exercise intensities during seated upper-body poling (UBP). Methods: Thirteen abled-bodied, upper-body trained men (age 29±3years; body mass 84±12kg; height 183±5cm) performed four submaximal 4-min stages of seated UBP on four separate test days. The four submaximal stages were set at individual power outputs corresponding to a rating of perceived exertion of 9, 11, 13, and 15. The absolute reliability for pairwise test-day comparisons of the physiological variables was investigated with the smallest detectable change percentage (%SDC) and the relative reliability with the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Absolute and relative reliab
