Why the study?
Does progressive exercise to exhaustion on a rowing ergometer compared to a cycle ergometer yield different cardiorespiratory responses in untrained females and collegiate women rowers?

Ergometer choice may affect VO2max interpretation in rowers; leaves open optimal modality for sport-specific cardiorespiratory assessment.
Does progressive exercise to exhaustion on a rowing ergometer compared to a cycle ergometer yield different cardiorespiratory responses in untrained females and collegiate women rowers?
Cardiovascular system limitations may restrict exercise performance during rowing in trained athletes, though specific training effects are evident at the ventilatory threshold.
Mahler et al. (1987) studied this question.
