The present study suggests that the íncremental ramp load protocol is able to measure maximum threshold pressure in a more thorough way, wíth less progression and greater accuracy in the load stratification compared to the límited incremental step loading protocol and with a safe and expected cardiovascular response in healthy individuals.
