Purpose
This article is in response to the Letter of Garcia-Tabar et al. [Eur J Appl Physiol (in press), 2018] relating to the issue of post-test sensor calibration ‘verification’. This issue is poorly addressed in contemporary patient-related position statements on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
Methods
Post-test sensor calibration verification approaches were compared.
Result
The potential impact on data quality of changing sensor calibration during the course of an exercise test was described.
Conclusion
It is recommended that post-test sensor calibration verification be incorporated into existing CPET ‘best practice’.
