Description
Summary:Dear Editor-in-chief The recent development of portable metabolic gas analysis systems gives scientists the capability of measuring physiological data, including oxygen consumption, associated with multi-directional movements in the field. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the agreement between measurements of A) relative oxygen consumption (VO2), B) respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and C) minute ventilation (VE), obtained from the K4b2 and the T2400 during level treadmill exercise. After donning a heart rate monitor (Polar Electro Oy, Model 6029, Kempele, Finland) and metabolic equipment, subjects began the testing protocol with a five-minute standing baseline period.
