Determination of cardiocirculatory fitness without the need to elicit maximal effort. Disadvantage: objectivity sometimes less than ideal (depending on the method used).
Thank you for your reply , i would ask about the reference value for normal persons,regarding an exercise physiology system ,how can i benefit from knowing the anaerobic threshold in normal or diseased subjects
I added two papers but it seems that they have not been uploaded for you. These are the references.
