- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcomes are VO2piek and WRpiek. To examine the validity the<br /><br>consistency between WRpeak and VO2peak will be tested. The validity is found<br /><br>good when r > 0.75 p < 0.05. To examine the reliability the relationship<br /><br>between the WRpiek of SRT1 and WRpiek SRT 2 will be tested. Reliability is<br /><br>found good when ICC > 0.80.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The secondary study parameter is the BORG-scale before and after the tests. To<br /><br>investigate if there is a relationship between the subjectively scored fatique<br /><br>after the test and the result of the cycle test, the relationship between the<br /><br>BORG-scale and WRpeak of the SRT and VO2peak of the CPET is tested.</p><br>
