CPET
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing, a method that precisely measures cardiopulmonary function by analyzing the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in a subject's exhaled breath in real time. It is the gold-standard method for determining VO₂ max and has traditionally been performed by exercise physiologists in specialized laboratory settings.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The respiratory gas analysis used by PNOĒ belongs to cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), which directly measures the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in exhaled air and is the gold standard method for VO₂ max measurement.
Traditional CPET testing requires subjects to wear a mask and perform incremental exercise on a treadmill or cycle ergometer until exhaustion, with real-time monitoring by an exercise physiologist.
The cost of a single traditional CPET test at a medical facility is typically $200–$500 or higher.
