Bringing a large number of individuals in for physiological testing can be a logistical challenge, especially with the constraints placed upon college athletes. Many field tests have been developed to estimate ventilatory threshold (VT), however these tests have a degree of error associated with them. Therefore, a device to assess an individual’s VT in the field with numerous athletes tested at once is more desirable. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of a chest worn physiological monitoring system to a gas analysis system to determine VT. METHODS: Eight (n = 8) trained individuals were tested in a laboratory setting using a ramped exercise protocol to determine their VT using both a gas analysis system (GA) and a chest-worn physiological monitoring system (PM). The protocol used was a modified Conconi with an initial speed of 6 kph with an increase in speed of 1 kph at every odd minute and an increase in incline of 2% at each even minute. A paired sample t- test was run using the time at which VT occurred from both TI - Use of a Physiological Monitoring System to Determine Ventilatory Threshold JF - Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research DA - 2011-03-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wolters-kluwer-health/use-of-a-physiological-monitoring-system-to-determine-ventilatory-uKDMarkTej SP - - VL - 25 IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
