This study developed a nonexercise prediction equation for peak oxygen uptake (Vo2peak) in individuals with cardiovascular disease. The new equation provided a lower mean error between measured and predicted Vo2peakthan an equation developed from a healthy cohort highlighting the importance of using a population-specific equation when predicting Vo2peak.
