]]> Abstract:
Satonaka A, Suzuki N, Kawamura M. Validity of submaximal exercise testing in adults with athetospastic cerebral palsy.

Objective:
To examine the validity of the multistage submaximal cycle ergometer test for adults with athetospastic cerebral palsy.

Design:
Cross-sectional and correlative study. Oxygen uptake and heart rates were recorded while the participants underwent the maximal cycle ergometer test and the multistage submaximal cycle ergometer test. Peak oxygen consumption (Vo2peak) was achieved by the maximal cycle test. Maximum oxygen consumption (V̇o2max) was predicted by the multistage submaximal cycle ergometer test.

Setting:
Research laboratory setting.

Participants:
Adults with athetospastic cerebral palsy (N=16; 10 women and 6 men; mean age ± SD, 43.7±14….
