The studies by Asayama et al, 9 Cooper, 12 and Hooker & wells13 reported that the peak V02 during mcremental exercise was not significantly related to WV during a marathon9 or 10 km I2.13 race in well trained paraplegic road racers. In contrast, Lakomy et alll observed a significant correlation of 0.61 between these two variables during a simulated 5 km road race in male quadriplegic and paraplegic athletes.
