set_protocol: Setting an exercise testing profile

In spiro: Manage Data from Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing

Setting an exercise testing profile

Description

set_protocol() allows to set a load profile for an exercise test based on profile sections.

Usage

set_protocol(...)

pt_pre(duration)

pt_wu(duration, load, rest.duration = 0)

pt_steps(
  duration,
  load,
  increment,
  count,
  rest.duration = 0,
  last.duration = NULL
)

pt_const(duration, load, count, rest.duration = 0, last.duration = NULL)

Arguments

...	Functions related to sections of the load profile, such as pt_pre, pt_wu, pt_const or pt_step. Sections will be evaluated in the order they are entered.
duration	A number, giving the duration of the test section or a single load within the test section (in seconds).
load	A number, giving the (initial) load of a section.
rest.duration	A number, specifying the duration of (each) rest (in seconds).
increment	A number, giving the difference in load between the current and the following load step.
count	An integer for the number of load sections.
last.duration	A number, giving the duration of the last load step (in seconds).

Value

A data.frame with the duration and load of each protocol step.

Functions

• pt_pre(): Add pre-measures to a load protocol

• pt_wu(): Add a warm up to a load protocol

• pt_steps(): Add a stepwise load protocol

• pt_const(): Add a constant load protocol

Examples

set_protocol(pt_pre(60), pt_wu(300, 100), pt_steps(180, 150, 25, 8, 30))
