    This study identified two ventilatory thresholds during graded exercise tests in healthy males. These thresholds indicate distinct points where ventilation increases disproportionately relative to oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Understanding ventilatory thresholds is crucial for assessing exercise intensity and physiological responses.
    • Previous research has identified single ventilatory thresholds, but the existence and detection of multiple thresholds require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and characterize distinct ventilatory thresholds during graded exercise testing.
    • To investigate the relationship between respiratory gas exchange variables at these thresholds.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-eight healthy male volunteers underwent a graded exercise test.
    • Respiratory gas exchange variables, including ventilation (VE), oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), fraction of expired oxygen (FEO2), and fraction of expired carbon dioxide (FECO2), were continuously monitored.

  • Analysis focused on identifying the power outputs at which specific ratios (VE/VO2, VE/VCO2) reached minimums and gas fractions (FEO2, FECO2) reached maximums.

    • Main Results:

    • Two distinct ventilatory thresholds were consistently observed in all participants.
    • The first threshold was identified by the minimum VE/VO2 ratio and minimum FEO2, indicating hyperventilation relative to oxygen consumption.
    • The second threshold was identified by the minimum VE/VCO2 ratio and maximum FECO2, indicating hyperventilation relative to carbon dioxide production.

    Conclusions:

    • This study demonstrates the presence of two distinct ventilatory thresholds during graded exercise in healthy males.
    • These thresholds represent significant points in exercise physiology where ventilation becomes disproportionately elevated concerning metabolic gas exchange.
    • The findings provide a more nuanced understanding of ventilatory control during incremental exercise.
