Within the same individual, the HR-VO2 relationship varies across modes, despite exercising over similar ranges of steady-state VO2. HR appears less able to predict VO2 compared to PE. Based on these new findings, systematic investigation of the HR-VO2 relationship across modes of exercise in tetraplegia is warranted.
