The dissociation between constant work rate of O 2  uptake (V̇o 2 ) and ramp V̇o 2  at a given work rate might be mitigated during slowly increasing ramp protocols. This study characterized the V̇o 2  dynamics in response to five different ramp protocols and constant-work-rate trials at the maximal metabolic steady state (MMSS) to characterize 1) the V̇o 2  gain (G) in the moderate, heavy, and severe domains, 2) the mean response time of V̇o 2  (MRT), and 3) the work rates at lactate threshold (LT) and respiratory compensation point (RCP). Eleven young individuals performed five ramp tests (5, 10, 15, 25, and 30 W/min), four to five time-to-exhaustions for critical power estimation, and two to three constant-work-rate trials for confirmation of the work rate at MMSS. G was greatest during the slowest ramp and progressively decreased with increasing ramp slopes (from ~12 to ~8 ml·min −1 ·W −1 , P   0.05). The work rate at MMSS was 215 ± 55 W and was similar and highly correlated with the work rate at RCP during the 5 W/min ramp ( P &gt; 0.05, r = 0.99; Lin’s concordance coefficient = 0.99; bias = −3 W; root mean square error = 6 W). Findings showed that the dynamics of V̇o 2  (i.e., G) during ramp exercise explain the apparent dichotomy existing with constant-work-rate exercise. When these dynamics are appropriately “resolved”, LT is constant regardless of the ramp slope of choice, and RCP and MMSS display minimal variations between each other.    NEW &amp; NOTEWORTHY This study demonstrates that the dynamics of V̇o 2  during ramp-incremental exercise are dependent on the characteristics of the increments in work rate, such that during slow-incrementing ramp protocols the magnitude of the dissociation between ramp V̇o 2  and constant V̇o 2  at a given work rate is reduced. Accurately accounting for these dynamics ensures correct characterizations of the V̇o 2  kinetics at ramp onset and allows appropriate comparisons between ramp and constant-work-rate exercise-derived indexes of exercise intensity.
