Introduction. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) can precisely determine aerobic capacity, conjugate and independent functions of the pulmonary cardiovascular, and skeletal muscle systems.
Aim. To describe CPET feedback from a high stamina professional football player.
Description of the case. The test took place in course of one CPET session. The method of an individual case study was used in this research. The participant was a local team football player. According to the coaches’ opinion, this player had the best ability to perform long distance work. The test was performed using a cycle ergometer. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test was performed with a cycle ergometer RAMP test.
Conclusion. The player’s capacity is at a level that allows us to outline his results as a unique case.
