This study demonstrated that RCP as derived from RI exercise and LT2 as derived from SI exercise can be equally accurate to determine the PO associated with MLSS. Although these results confirmed the suitability of RI and SI tests for this purpose, they also highlighted the importance of an appropriate threshold method selection and the eye of the expert.
