Could a Short Incremental Test Be a Valid Cardiorespiratory Efficiency Assessment Tool in Obese Adults? A Comparison between Two Exercise Testing Protocols

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: To assess cardiorespiratory efficiency in obese adults, two exercise test treadmill protocols with 2- or 3-minute stages were compared. Methods: mL/min/kg), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), fat oxidation (FO) at maximal fat oxidation (MFO), and maximal fat oxidation zone (Fatmax zone) were measured. Results: zone borders. Moreover, a difference was found for FO at the low and high borders. Conclusion: , and RPE at MFO.
