VO2 Peak Cycle Test
behavioralhuman
Objective: Measure peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) and determine cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy young adults using cycle ergometry
Protocol Steps
1
Participant recruitment and screening
Recruit healthy young adults between 18 and 35 years old. Screen for exclusion criteria including antibiotic treatment within previous 6 months, current prescribed pharmaceutical drug utilization, or active acute or chronic diseases
Note: Verbal interview conducted

2
Dietary habits assessment
Conduct verbal interview with participants regarding their dietary habits
View evidence from paper
“All participants were verbally interviewed on their dietary habits”
3
VO2 peak cycle test
Administer cycle ergometry test to determine cardiorespiratory fitness and measure peak oxygen uptake
Note: Test conducted during lab visit
View evidence from paper
“CRF was determined using a VO2 peak cycle test”
4
Stool sample collection
Provide participants with stool collection kit and instructions. Participants collect sample within one week following lab visit
Within 1 week following lab visit
