A high R value (ratio of CO2 production to O2 consumption) skewed towards oxygen consumption may not qualify as a valid VO2 max test by traditional criteria.

“the r value is heavily skewed towards oxygen consumption and less carbon dioxide production you would even when you do did when when you do this you would even say that this this doesn't qualify for a V2 Maxes so the V2 so the V2 numbers now are equally high or higher but the carbon dioxide production is actually now just maybe a little bit higher than one in ourr value and normally we would say that if if you just went went by the papers or the old school books you would say that okay in order for qualify V2 Max that you should for example like one of the criteria is often they say that you need to exceed an R value of 1.1 for example for it to be valid”
