Peak oxygen uptake, ventilatory threshold, and arterial stiffness in adolescents

To investigate the associations of peak oxygen uptake ( $\dot {V}{{\text{O}}_{2{\text{peak}}}} ) and \dot {V}{{\text{O}}_2} at ventilatory threshold ( \dot {V}{{\text{O}}_2} at VT) with arterial stiffness in adolescents. The participants were 55 adolescents (36 girls, 19 boys) aged 16–19 years. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao) and augmentation index (AIx%) were measured by non-invasive oscillometric device from right brachial artery...
