<strong>Ventilatory Thresholds</strong>

<strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> The 6-minute rowing ergometer test (6-minRT) is valid and reliable for establishing maximal aerobic power (MAP) in amateur male rowers. However, ventilatory thresholds (VTs) have not yet been established with their mechanical correspondence in this test. <strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> The primary objective was to determine the VTs in the 6-minRT achieved by amateur male rowers, while the secondary objective was to determine the correspondence between ventilatory, mechanical, and HR outcomes of the 6-minRT.
