This study examined the accuracy and reliability of the MedGraphics VO2000 (VO2000) portable metabolic system and the ParvoMedics TrueOne 2400 (TrueOne 2400) metabolic cart against the criterion Douglas bag (DB) method. Ten healthy males (age 20 +/- 1.7 years) had their gas exchange variables measured at rest and during cycling at 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 W. Each stage was 10-12 min. For half of the stage gas exchange was measured with the DB and TrueOne 2400 simultaneously and for the other half of the stage gas exchange was measured with the VO2000. The testing was performed on two separate days and the order in which the equipment was used in each stage was randomized. Reliability between days for V (E) (CV 7.3-8.8%) was similar among devices, however, for VO2, and VCO2 the VO2000 (CV 14.2-15.8%) was less reliable compared to the DB (CV 5.3-6.0%) and TrueOne 2400 (CV 4.7-5.7%). The TrueOne 2400 was not significantly different from the DB at rest or any work rate for V (E), VO2, or VCO2 (P > or = 0.05). The VO2000 was significantly different from the DB for V (E) at 50-100 W, VO2 at rest and 100-250 W, and VCO2 at rest and 200-250 W (all, P < 0.05). The TrueOne 2400 provides accurate and reliable results for the measurement of gas exchange variables. The VO2000 portable metabolic system was less reliable for measuring VO2 and VCO2 and generally overestimates VO2 at most cycling work rates. Further research is needed to confirm the results found with the VO2000.

Using a Contemporary Portable Metabolic Gas Exchange System for Assessing Energy Expenditure: A Validity and Reliability Study.

There are several methods available to assess energy expenditure, all associated with inherent pros and cons that must be adequately considered for use in specific environments and populations. A requirement of all methods is that they must be valid and reliable in their capability to accurately measure oxygen consumption (VO) and carbon dioxide production (VCO). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the mobile CO/O Breath and Respiration Analyzer (COBRA) relative to a criterion system (Parvomedics TrueOne 2400, PARVO) with additional measurements to compare the COBRA to a portable system (Vyaire Medical, Oxycon Mobile, OXY).

Background: Estimated peak oxygen consumption (Vopeak) is widely used in oncology; however, estimated Vopeak equations were developed in noncancer settings.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of estimated Vopeak in women with primary breast cancer and to develop oncology-specific estimated Vopeak equations.
Methods: Vopeak was directly measured (TrueOne 2400, Parvo Medics) during 380 cardiopulmonary exercise tests in women previously treated for breast cancer (mean age: 59 ± 10 years; 3.

The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which the Tyme Wear smart shirt is as reliable and valid in detecting personalized ventilatory thresholds when compared to the Parvo Medics TrueOne 2400. In this validation study, 19 subjects were recruited to conduct two graded exercise test (GXT) trials. Each GXT trial was separated by 7 to 10 days of rest.

Background: Metabolic carts measure the carbon dioxide (CO) produced and oxygen consumed by an individual when breathing to assess metabolic fuel usage (carbohydrates versus fats). However, these systems are expensive, time-consuming, and only available in health care laboratory settings. A small handheld device capable of determining metabolic fuel usage via CO from exhaled air has been developed.

Background: Distance running fitness is commonly assessed using metabolic testing (MT). During MT, the runner must wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth. It is unclear if this increased challenge alters running kinematics and/or stride-to-stride variability (SSV).
