| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to compare the test-retest reliability of oxygen uptake ( $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ ) kinetics with carbon dioxide output( $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ ) kinetics using a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) exercise test. A reliable test of gas exchange kinetics would have the potential of being applied as a sports fitness test. Ten healthy male subjects agreed to participate in the study and all subjects completed two identical PRBS exercise tests (test 1 and test 2), separated by a 30 min period of inactivity. Three consecutive 300 s PRBS cycles were completed in each test with 20 s exercise intensity changes between 25 and 85 W using an electrically braked cycle ergometer. Fourier analysis was computed for frequencies 3.3, 6.7 and 10 mHz. Statistical analysis by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures did not reveal significant differences between test 1 and test 2 for either $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics or $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics. Static gain of $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ for test 1 [9.11 (SD 0.59) ml·min–1·W–1] and test 2 [9.23 (SD 0.64) ml·min–1·W–1] did not differ significantly between tests. The 95% limits of agreement for $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics displayed increased variability in comparison to $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics at each frequency of amplitude ratio and phase shift. Systematic bias ranged between 0% and 4%, except at frequency 10 mHz of $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics phase shift which showed a 10% bias for slower $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics in test 2. It is possible that the increased variability of $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics compared to $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics might be attributable to a lower signal to noise ratio in $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics, variations in ventilation or the storage mechanisms of CO2. The lower variability of $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics compared with $$\dot V{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics suggests that the PRBS test of $$\dot V{\rm O}_{\rm 2} $$ kinetics has the greater potential for further development as an indicator of aerobic fitness. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
