Participants were 55% male (N = 77, age = 21.4 ± 4.8 years, BMI = 22.6 ± 1.7 kg·m− 2, peak VO2 = 4.40 ± 0.64 L·min− 1) and 45% female (N = 63, age = 23.4 ± 4.3 years, BMI = 22.1 ± 1.6 kg·m− 2, peak VO2 = 3.21 ± 0.48 L·min− 1). OUEP was defined as the highest 90-second continuous value of the ratio between VO2 and VE. We used the multivariable stepwise linear regression to develop a new prediction equation for OUEP. OUEP was 44.2 ± 4.2 mL·L− 1 and 41.0 ± 4.8 mL·L− 1 for males and females, respectively. In external validation, OUEP was comparable to directly measured and did not differ significantly.
