Metabolic cost of external work: a novel CPET parameter optimises characterisation of exercise performance in obese individuals - European Journal of Applied Physiology

|
By Robert Barker, Stanford Hall
| link.springer.com
Abstract Both obesity and cardiorespiratory fitness are crucial determinants of symptoms and prognosis. However, interpreting the gold-standard cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is complicated by increasing body size and varying body composition. We hypothesised that the ‘metabolic cost of external work’ (or oxygen uptake (ml/min)/workload (Watts); V̇O2/W), a body weight-independent determinant of endurance capacity, would reflect metabolic health more accurately than V̇O2 alone.
