Nomogram underestimation risks misclassifying fitness in young men; leaves open need for validated alternatives across training statuses.
How accurate is the prediction of maximal oxygen intake from submaximal pulse rate and Vo2 in normal young men?
Prediction of maximal oxygen intake from submaximal pulse rate and Vo2 significantly underestimates actual max Vo2, with accuracy varying based on physical conditioning and nonspecific stresses.
