Quantification and physiological significance of the rightward shift of the V-slope during incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing

Abstract Background Ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) is frequently used as a measure of exercise tolerance, with the V-slope method being the standard; however, this needs to be visually determined. Over the years, we have observed that the V-slope itself often appears to shift rightward before...
