The Astrand-Rhyming test protocol and MOTOmed Viva2 adaptive ergometer were feasible in healthy participants. The protocol was not feasible for V·O(2max) estimation for the majority of stroke patients based on heart rate response. The adapted steady state VO2 measures used however were feasible and had strong relationship to actual VO2 consumption. Criterion validity and retest reliability of test data were excellent.
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.
