Abstract

Exercise activity up to the anaerobic threshold (AT) is used in a very wide segment of the population, be it in top athletes, healthy sedentary persons, or patients suffering from cardiovascular or various other diseases. The authors have developed a new method of AT assessment using common spiroergometric parameters (work rate, heart rate, ventilation, oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio) written as a software application in MS EXCEL 2000. The method is fully reproducible, the breakpoint of the anaerobic threshold is always accessible and independent of subjective factors. The application works in all versions of EXCEL (version 5.0 and higher) and can be downloaded from the Internet.
