The goal of this study was to determine whether accurate estimates of VO2 values can be made at the beginning and at the end of a rehabilitation program. Methods: A total of 91 cardiac rehabilitation patients were included. Each participant had to complete cardiopulmonary exercise testing at the beginning and at the end of a rehabilitation program. Measured VO2 values were compared with estimates based on three different equations. Results: Analyses of the means of the differences in the peak values showed very good agreement between the results obtained with the FRIEND equation or those obtained with a combination of rules of thumb and the results of the measurements. This agreement was confirmed with the ICCs and with the standard errors of the measurements. The ACSM equation performed worse. The same tendency was seen when considering the VO2 values at percentage-derived work rates. Conclusions: The FRIEND equation and the more easily applicable combination of rules of thumb are suitable for estimating the peak VO2 and the VO2 at a percentage-derived work rate in cardiac patients both at the beginning and at the end of a cardiac rehabilitation program.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13082235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]],"date-time":"2024-04-12T03:34:37Z","timestamp":1712892877000},"page":"2235","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Calculation of Oxygen Uptake during Ambulatory Cardiac Rehabilitation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4117-9257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Holger","family":"Stephan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, University of Wuppertal, Moritzstra\u00dfe 14, 42117 Wuppertal, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nils","family":"Klophaus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, University of Wuppertal, Moritzstra\u00dfe 14, 42117 Wuppertal, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1559-1731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Udo F.","family":"Wehmeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, University of Wuppertal, Moritzstra\u00dfe 14, 42117 Wuppertal, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1738-4891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabian","family":"Tomschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, University of Wuppertal, Moritzstra\u00dfe 14, 42117 Wuppertal, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0935-2526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Hilberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, University of Wuppertal, Moritzstra\u00dfe 14, 42117 Wuppertal, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200187","DOI":"10.1183\/16000617.0187-2020","article-title":"The clinical value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the modern era","volume":"30","author":"Laveneziana","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur.
