Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study parameter is the agreement between the values of candidate<br /><br>sensors and the actual values of the golden standards for determining exercise<br /><br>intensity, being lactate concentration (LA) in blood and oxygen consumption<br /><br>(VO2) from breath gas analysis.<br /><br>In the process of creating an algorithm, it will be determined what<br /><br>(combination of) candidate measurements are significantly correlated to LA and<br /><br>VO2. </p><br>
