The 3 MT yields reliable estimates of CP and consistent estimates of the power-duration relationship. Power for 150 s, in comparison with W', is a more reliable metric of short-term power performance. The square-wave protocol is recommended over the 3 MT for verifying true VO(2max).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
