Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcomes are VO2piek and WRpiek. To examine the validity the consistency between WRpeak and VO2peak will be tested. The validity is found good when r > 0.75 p 0.80.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary study parameter is the BORG-scale before and after the tests. To investigate if there is a relationship between the subjectively scored fatique after the test and the result of the cycle test, the relationship between the BORG-scale and WRpeak of the SRT and VO2peak of the CPET is tested.
