Nine Ski mountaineering (Ski-Mo), ten Nordic-Cross Country (NCC) and twelve world elite biathlon (Bia) athletes were evaluated for cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performance as the primary aim of our descriptive preliminary report. A multicenter retrospective analysis of CPET data was performed in 31 elite winter sports athletes, which were obtained in 2021 during the annual medical examination. The matched data of the elite winter sports athletes (14 women, 17 male athletes, age: 18-32 years) were compared for different CPET parameters, and athlete's physique data and sport-specific training schedules. All athletes showed, as estimated in elite winter sport athletes, excellent performance data in the CPET analyses. Significant differences were revealed for VE (respiratory minute volume at the second ventilatory threshold (VT2)), highest maximum respiratory minute volume (VE), the indexed ventilatory oxygen uptake (VO) at VT2 (VO/kg ), the oxygen pulse at VT2, and the maximum oxygen pulse level between the three professional winter sports disciplines. This report provides new evidence that in different world elite winter sport professionals, significant differences in CPET parameters can be demonstrated, against the background of athlete's physique as well as training control and frequency.
九名滑雪登山（Ski-Mo）、十名北欧两项（NCC）和十二名世界精英冬季两项（Bia）运动员接受了心肺运动测试（CPET）表现评估，作为我们描述性初步报告的主要目的。对 31 名精英冬季运动员的 CPET 数据进行了多中心回顾性分析，这些数据是在 2021 年的年度体检中获得的。对精英冬季运动员的匹配数据（14 名女性，17 名男性运动员，年龄：18-32 岁）进行了不同 CPET 参数、运动员体质数据和专项训练计划的比较。所有运动员在 CPET 分析中都表现出了精英冬季运动员的优秀表现数据。VE（第二通气阈（VT2）时的呼吸分钟量）、最高最大呼吸分钟量（VE）、VT2 时的通气氧摄取指数（VO/kg）、VT2 时的氧脉冲和最大氧脉冲水平在三个专业冬季运动学科之间存在显著差异。本报告提供了新的证据，表明在不同的世界精英冬季运动专业人士中，在运动员体质以及训练控制和频率的背景下，可以证明 CPET 参数存在显著差异。
