Can VO2max be accurately estimated using exercise-duration based prediction equations and a nomogram?

Abstract

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to examine a large cohort of young Canadian adults to determine if exercise time from a maximal Bruce Treadmill Protocol could accurately predict measured VO2max values by inputting the total exercise time into prediction equations and a nomogram.
