Key result
Supramaximal exercise intensity significantly affected the accumulated oxygen deficit (p=0.011), which peaked at 112.5% to 120% of maximal oxygen uptake.

AOD peaks at 112.5–120% VO2max with 8.7% CV reliability; extends testing protocols but leaves open standardization for performance assessment.
Does supramaximal exercise intensity affect accumulated oxygen deficit in trained male cyclists?
p-value: p=0.011
Accumulated oxygen deficit peaks at intensities of 112.5-120% V̇O2max during exhaustive square-wave cycling and demonstrates good test-retest reliability at 112.5% V̇O2max.
Muniz‐Pumares et al. (2016) studied Healthy trained athletes (n=21). Supramaximal constant work-rate cycling vs. Different intensities compared to each other was evaluated on Accumulated oxygen deficit (AOD) (p=0.011). Supramaximal exercise intensity significantly affected the accumulated oxygen deficit (p=0.011), which peaked at 112.5% to 120% of maximal oxygen uptake.
