Supports HRDP-VT agreement for anaerobic threshold in water cycling; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does the heart rate deflection point method accurately determine the anaerobic threshold compared to the ventilatory method in men during water cycling?
The heart rate deflection point is a valid, noninvasive, and easy method to estimate the anaerobic threshold during water cycling, comparable to the ventilatory method.
Pinto et al. (2015) studied this question.
