Creating a database of athletes' performance during maximal effort tests

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to build a comprehensive database of psychophysiological data collected from athletes undergoing maximal effort tests. The research group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel will evaluate both trained and untrained individuals to assess their endurance capacity and provide tailored training recommendations. By analyzing objective parameters like heart rate and speed alongside subjective measures such as perceived exertion, the study seeks to refine training methodologies and advice for athletes. The ultimate goal is to enhance the understanding of exercise intensity and its effects on performance.
