INTRODUCTION The interchangeability analysis has been recently proposed to objectively assess whether a newly developed measurement tool can substitute the older ones; this analysis assumes that the measures yielded by the compared tools should differ less than a maximum acceptable value. We aimed to assess the interchangeability rate (IR) of the breath-by-breath O2 uptake data calculated with the "Independent breath" (IND) and the "Expiration-only" (EXP) algorithms. METHODS Oxygen, carbon dioxide fractions, and ventilato
