A combined method for determining ventilatory threshold (VT) is valid and reliable across diverse fitness levels. This approach enhances VT determination accuracy and success rates compared to single methods.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Cardiorespiratory Fitness Assessment

Background:

  • Accurate determination of ventilatory threshold (VT) is crucial for exercise prescription and performance analysis.
  • Existing methods for VT assessment have limitations in determination rate and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a combined methodology for determining ventilatory threshold (VT).
  • To compare the efficacy of a combined VT determination method against individual methods.

Main Methods:

  • Three methods (ventilatory equivalencies, excess CO2 production, modified V-slope) were used individually and combined.
  • Ventilatory threshold (VT) was assessed in endurance athletes, aerobically active adults, and sedentary adults.
  • VT was compared against the criterion standard lactate threshold (LT).

Main Results:

  • The combined VT method showed significant correlations with lactate threshold (LT) across all participant groups (r = 0.95–0.98).
  • Mean VO2 values at VT and LT were not significantly different between groups.
  • The combined method improved VT determination rates and reduced LT-VT difference variability by 80-170% compared to individual methods.

Conclusions:

  • A combined method for VT determination is valid and reliable across a wide fitness spectrum.
  • This integrated approach enhances the accuracy and determination rate of VT compared to single-method assessments.
  • The findings support the use of the combined method for robust cardiorespiratory fitness evaluations.
