Statistical fundamentals postulate that a minimum difference between measurements of 0.5 LoA (≈√2CV) is required to determine a real individual change with an 84 % certainty (Hopkins 2000). Based on the day to day variation of \( \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{{{\text{2peak}}}} \) determined in a test consisting of a GXT and a VER, this translates to a 13.2, 6.4, and 4.7 % change required to document an improvement or a reduction in TETRA, PARA and NON-SCI athletes, respectively.
