Assumptions in pVO<sub>2</sub> for both equations were first determined using a simulation and then evaluated using exercise data from the Stanford Exercise Testing registry. We calculated percent-predicted VO<sub>2</sub> (ppVO<sub>2</sub>) values for both equations and compared them using the Bland–Altman method. Assumptions associated with pVO<sub>2</sub> across BMI categories were quantified by comparing the slopes of age-adjusted VO<sub>2</sub> ratios (pVO<sub>2</sub>/pre-exercise VO<sub>2</sub>) and ppVO<sub>2</sub> values for different BMI categories. The simulation revealed lower predicted fitness among adults with obesity using the FRIEND equation compared to the WH equations. In the clinical cohort, we evaluated 2471 patients (56.9% male, 22% with BMI >30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, pVO<sub>2</sub> 26.8 mlO<sub>2</sub>/kg/min). The Bland–Altman plot revealed an average relative difference of −1.7% (95% CI: −2.1 to −1.2%) between WH and FRIEND ppVO<sub>2</sub> values with greater differences among those with obesity. Analysis of the VO<sub>2</sub> ratio to ppVO<sub>2</sub> slopes across the BMI spectrum confirmed the assumption of lower fitness in those with obesity, and this trend was more pronounced using the FRIEND equation. Peak VO<sub>2</sub> estimations between the WH and FRIEND equations differed significantly among individuals with obesity. The FRIEND equation resulted in a greater attributable reduction in pVO<sub>2</sub> associated with obesity relative to the WH equations. The outlined relationships between BMI and predicted VO<sub>2</sub> may better inform the clinical interpretation of ppVO<sub>2</sub> values during cardiopulmonary exercise test evaluations.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10399,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Obesity","volume":"14 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140109537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the extent to which providers and coaches adhered to the service specification outlined by NHS England. An observational qualitative study was conducted to examine the delivery of both one-to-one and group-based delivery of programme sessions. Observations of 122 sessions across eight programme delivery samples and two service providers were completed. Adherence to the service specification was stronger for those outcomes that were easily measurable, such as weight and blood glucose, while less tangible elements of the specification, such as empowering service users, and person-centred delivery were less consistently observed. One-to-one sessions were more successful in their person-centred delivery, and the skills of the coaches delivering the sessions had a strong impact on adherence to the specification. Overall, the results show that there was variability by provider and delivery mode in the extent to which sessions of the NHS Low-Calorie Diet Programme reflected the intended service specification.
