Temporal convolutional networks predict dynamic oxygen uptake response from wearable sensors across exercise intensities
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Oxygen consumption ( $$\dot{\,{{\mbox{V}}}}{{{\mbox{O}}}}_{2}$$ V ̇ O 2 ) provides established clinical and physiological indicators of cardiorespiratory function and exercise capacity. However, $$\dot{\,{{\mbox{V}}}}{{{\mbox{O}}}}_{2}$$ V ̇ O 2 monitoring is largely limited to specialized laboratory settings, making its widespread monitoring elusive. Here we investigate temporal prediction of $$\dot{\,{{\mbox{V}}}}{{{\mbox{O}}}}_{2}$$ V ̇ O 2 from wearable sensors during cycle ergometer exercise using a temporal convolutional network (TCN). Cardiorespiratory signals were acquired from a smart shirt with integrated textile sensors alongside ground-truth $$\dot{\,{{\mbox{V}}}}{{{\mbox{O}}}}_{2}$$ V ̇ O 2 from a metabolic system on 22 young healthy adults. Participants performed one ramp-incremental and three pseudorandom binary sequence exercise protocols to assess a range of $$\dot{\,{{\mbox{V}}}}{{{\mbox{O}}}}_{2}$$ V ̇ O 2 dynamics. A TCN model was developed using causal convolutions across an effective history length to model the time-dependent nature of $$\dot{\,{{\mbox{V}}}}{{{\mbox{O}}}}_{2}$$ V ̇ O 2 . Optimal history length was determined through minimum validation loss across hyperparameter values. The best performing model encoded 218 s history length (TCN-VO2 A), with 187, 97, and 76 s yielding <3% deviation from the optimal validation loss. TCN-VO2 A showed strong prediction accuracy (mean, 95% CI) across all exercise intensities (−22 ml min − 1 , [−262, 218]), spanning transitions from low–moderate (−23 ml min −

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
