Abstract:Purpose:
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a strong predictor of cardiorespiratory diseases and varies by race. The purpose of this study was to provide CRF reference standards and a prediction equation for peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) from treadmill-based cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) in Chinese individuals.
Methods:
Healthy participants (n = 4199) who completed a CPX using a treadmill were studied. The percentiles of V˙O2peak were determine… Show more
