Oxygen uptake plateau: calculation artifact or physiological reality?

ConclusionThe\(\dot{V}O_{{2}}\) plateau at\(\dot{V}O_{{{\text{2max}}}}\) represents a physiological event and no calculation artifact caused by\(\dot{V}O_{{2}}\) variability. However, detecting a\(\dot{V}O_{{2}}\) plateau with sufficient certainty requires large sampling intervals.
