VO2peak differs by mode in female triathletes; supports mode-specific testing but leaves open effects on training or prognosis.
Does the mode of exercise (treadmill, cycle, arm ergometer) affect VO2peak and the achievement of VO2peak criteria in female triathletes?
In moderately trained female triathletes, VO2peak is highest during treadmill running and lowest during arm ergometry, with blood lactate and RPE being the most frequently met criteria for achieving VO2peak.
