Question

Which of the following is not among the criteria used to determine if a VO₂ max test is valid? A) HR within 10 beats per minute of predicted HR max B) respiratory exchange ratio >1.00 C) blood lactate concentration >8 m moles.L^-1 D) plateau in VO₂ with increasing work rate

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A respiratory exchange ratio (RER) >1.00 is not a criterion for determining the validity of a VO2 max test. Typically, an RER >1.10 is used as a criterion.
