Abstract

ABSTRACTPeak cardiac output (peak) can be measured noninvasively using inert gas rebreathing (IGR). There is no consensus on the optimal protocol to measurepeakusing IGR, which requires a rebreathing period of ~10 s as close to “maximal” exercise as possible.PurposeThis study aimed to comparepeakelicited by a constant load protocol (CL) and an incremental step protocol (step).MethodsA noninferiority randomized crossover trial was used to comparepeakbetween protocols using a noninferiority margin of 0.5 L·min−1. Participants (n= 34 (19 female, 15 male); 25 ± 5 yr) performed two baseline V̇O2peaktests to determine peak heart rate (HRpeak) and peak work rate (Wpeak). Participants then performed theCLandstepprotocols each on two separate occasions with the order of the four visits randomized.peakwas measured using IGR (Innocor; COSMED, Rome, Italy). TheCLprotocol involved a V̇O2peaktest followed 10 min later by cycling at 90%Wpeak, with IGR initiated after 2 min.stepinvolved an incremental step test with IGR initiated when the participant’s HR reached 5 bpm below their HRpeak. The firstCLandsteptests were compared for noninferiority, and the second series of tests was used to measure repeatability (typical error (TE)).ResultsTheCLprotocol was noninferior tostep(CL= 17.1 ± 3.2,step= 16.8 ± 3.1 L·min−1; 95% confidence intervals, −0.16 to 0.72 L·min−1). The baseline V̇O2peak(3.13 ± 0.83 L·min−1) was achieved duringCL(3.12 ± 0.72,P= 0.87) andstep(3.12 ± 0.80,P= 0.82). The TE values forpeakwere 6.6% and 8.3% forCLandstep, respectively.ConclusionsTheCLprotocol was noninferior tostepand may be more convenient because of the reduced time commitment to perform the measurement.
