Question: Do ramp-incremented and RPE-clamped test protocols elicit similar VO2max values in trained cyclists?
Answer: The RPE-clamped test protocol was as effective as the ramp-incremented protocol for eliciting VO2max and could be considered as a valid alternative protocol, particularly where a fixed test duration is desirable.
yes
