Prediction of Exercise Capacity and Training Prescription from the 6-Minute Walk Test and Rating of Perceived Exertion.

Walking tests, such as the 6-min walk test (6MWT), are popular methods of estimating peak oxygen uptake (VOpeak) in clinical populations. However, the strength of the distance vs. VOpeak relationship is not strong, and there are no equations for estimating ventilatory threshold (VT), which is important for training prescription and prognosis.

Effect of Wearing the Elevation Training Mask on Aerobic Capacity, Lung Function, and Hematological Variables.

Altitude training and respiratory muscle training (RMT) have been reported to improve performance in elite and well-trained athletes. Several devices (altitude and RMT) have been developed to help athletes gain the competitive edge. The Elevation Training Mask 2.
