The purpose of this study was to establish a numerical computation model for estimation of oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics in decremental load exercise (DLE) starting from a work rate (WR) above the ventilatory threshold (>VT). In the model, WR in DLE were separated into several steps (constant load exercise, CLE) of which the durations increased step by step. VO2 kinetics in each step was estimated using an exponential equation, and the sum of VO2 values from all steps at a given time was regarded as simulated VO2 in DLE. In the model, the time constants were set symmetrically in a step
