May support mode-specific VO2max testing in elite athletes; leaves open generalizability and clinical relevance beyond small observational samples.
Does exercise mode (running, double poling, diagonal skiing) influence arterial saturation and oxygen uptake in elite cross country skiers?
Elite cross-country skiers experience only mild arterial desaturation during maximal exercise despite very high oxygen uptake, with diagonal skiing eliciting the highest VO2max compared to running or double poling.
Holmberg et al. (2006) studied this question.
