High Test-Retest Reliability but Questionable Validity: Assessing a Step-Ramp-Step Protocol to Estimate Critical Power and W’ in Trained Triathletes
The mod-SRS protocol reliably measures V̇O2peak, GET and RCP. Corrected PORCP systematically underestimated CP, which consequently impacts computation of W' using a mod-SRS protocol. The design of the protocol may allow a more complete depletion of energy available above RCP while still eliciting V̇O2peak.
