V′O2peak: peak oxygen consumption; V′O2 @ AT: oxygen consumption at anaerobic capacity; V′EEqCO2 at AT: ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide at anaerobic threshold; AT % pred V′O2max: anaerobic capacity as a per cent of maximal predicted oxygen consumption. V′E/V′CO2 slope: The slope of the relationship between ventilation and carbon dioxide production.
