The impact of warm-up intensity and duration on maximal effort limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters in healthy young adults

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The impact of warm-up intensity and duration before maximal effort cardiopulmonary exercise testing remains uncertain. Herein, we investigated the effect of a 5- versus 10-min warm-up performed at low or moderate intensity on maximal oxygen consumption. Compared with no warm-up, these different warm-ups yielded similar peak oxygen uptake, peak heart rate, and peak power output, thereby challenging the conventional notion that a warm-up is needed to optimize cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
