Ventilatory efficiency is a combination of the ventilatory-metabolic response stemming from non-invasive analysis of cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Despite being a recognized marker in exercise physiology, this measure presents considerable limitations, including the imprecise designation of "efficiency", broadly recognized, and recently denominated as "excess ventilation". Herein we present a detailed method, with substantial improvements, and new physiological insights, in order to better define the true ventilatory efficiency of the exercise, according to recommendations for physical/physiological processes.•"Ventilatory efficiency" of the exercise is a remarkable physiological index.•Several limitations are currently debated.•We report a new ventilatory efficiency index that match with recommendations.
通气效率是源于心肺运动测试无创分析的通气-代谢反应的组合。尽管它是运动生理学中一个公认的指标，但该测量存在相当大的局限性，包括广泛认可的“效率”的不精确界定，最近被称为“过度通气”。在此，我们提出一种详细的方法，有实质性改进和新的生理学见解，以便根据身体/生理过程的建议更好地定义运动的真正通气效率。
•运动的“通气效率”是一个显著的生理指标。
•目前有几个局限性存在争议。
•我们报告了一个符合建议的新通气效率指标。
