To investigate the interprotocol agreement of oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES).
16 Japanese children and adolescents (10 boys and six girls) underwent two sessions of maximal exercise testing according to the following two treadmill protocols: the standard Bruce protocol and the rapidly increasing staged (RIS) protocol. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), and the OUES were obtained from the gas analysis data. Agreement between the protocols was tested by means of the Bland-Altman method.
Interprotocol agreement was excellent for the OUES (limit of agreement, -18% to 17% of the mean value), slightly less good for VO2max (limit of agreement, -20% to 24% of the mean value), and poor for the VAT (limit of agreement, -31% to 31% of the mean value).
These results confirm the clinical usefulness of the OUES as a measure of evaluating exercise tolerance in the paediatric population.
探讨摄氧效率斜率（OUES）的不同方案间一致性。
16名日本儿童及青少年（10名男孩和6名女孩）按照以下两种跑步机方案进行了两次最大运动测试：标准布鲁斯方案和快速递增阶段（RIS）方案。从气体分析数据中获取最大摄氧量（VO2max）、通气无氧阈（VAT）和OUES。通过Bland-Altman方法测试不同方案间的一致性。
不同方案间OUES的一致性极佳（一致性界限为平均值的-18%至17%），VO2max的一致性稍差（一致性界限为平均值的-20%至24%），VAT的一致性较差（一致性界限为平均值的-31%至31%）。
这些结果证实了OUES作为评估儿科人群运动耐量指标的临床实用性。
