Why the study?
Does stepwise increment compared to continuous increment improve the reproducibility of cumulative work and hemodynamic response during maximal bicycle ergometer testing in healthy men?
Does stepwise increment compared to continuous increment improve the reproducibility of cumulative work and hemodynamic response during maximal bicycle ergometer testing in healthy men?
Stepwise increment protocols during maximal bicycle ergometer testing offer better reproducibility for cumulative work compared to continuous increment protocols.
