Graphical Abstract
Graphical Abstract
Repeated measures of accelerometry-measured daily moderate to vigorous physical activity, step count, and sedentary time were associated with VO2peak and oxygen uptake kinetics at various stages of exercise. However, how the oxygen uptake kinetic measures beside VO2peak are related to future cardiac conditions and prognosis in the general population is largely unknown.
