    A new computer algorithm objectively determines the anaerobic threshold (AT) during exercise testing. This method accurately identifies the AT, correlating highly with subjective assessments, improving exercise physiology analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • The anaerobic threshold (AT) is crucial for assessing exercise intensity and performance.
    • Traditionally, AT determination relies on subjective visual inspection of gas-exchange data during incremental exercise.
    • This subjective method can lead to variability and lacks objective criteria.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an objective computer algorithm for determining the anaerobic threshold.
    • To compare the computer-derived AT with values obtained through traditional subjective assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • A computer algorithm employing multisegment linear regression was developed to model ventilatory responses during incremental exercise.
    • The algorithm identifies the AT as the first breakpoint in the best-fit regression model, determined by minimizing the pooled residual sum of squares.

  • Computer-determined AT values were compared against those from four independent observers for 37 subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • The computer algorithm demonstrated a high correlation (r=0.94) with subjectively determined anaerobic threshold values.
    • Mean AT values were similar between the computer method (2.21 ± 0.65 L/min) and pooled observer estimates (2.26 ± 0.69 L/min).
    • The algorithm provides objective and reproducible AT determination.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer algorithm offers an objective and reliable method for determining the anaerobic threshold.
    • This objective approach can enhance the accuracy and consistency of exercise testing and physiological assessments.
    • The algorithm's high correlation with subjective methods validates its utility in clinical and research settings.
