VO2max Evaluation in Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients

93 participants underwent cycle ergometer exercise tests in a primary healthcare setting to evaluate maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). The study, authored by Claus Theilgaard Sevel, assessed criteria for VO2max plateau and maximal effort. Data was last updated on 2026-04-25.

Use Cases

• Validate VO2max plateau criteria based on oxygen uptake cut-offs mentioned in the description
• Assess maximal effort in patients using respiratory exchange ratio and rate of perceived exertion criteria
• Evaluate the applicability of cardiopulmonary exercise testing standards in primary healthcare settings

Strengths

• 93 participant records provide a sample for analysis
• Study includes specific validation criteria (VO2 plateau ≤100 mL O2/min, RER ≥1.15, RPE ≥17)
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0

Limitations

• Dataset size is 31.7 KB, indicating a very limited scope
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown
• Data may reflect the specific context of a single primary healthcare study
