The 1-s interpolation of breath-by-breath O2 uptake data to determine kinetic parameters: the misleading procedure

Conversely, the confidence interval (CI) of the parameter estimates are sensible to the applied data treatment. Narrower, but still correct, confidence intervals can be obtained only by increasing the original information used (i.e., increasing the number of repeated trials).
