The tness test is based on the YMCA protocol and is a sub-maximal test that uses pre-determined, xed work
levels that are based on your heart rate readings as the test progresses. The test will take anywhere between 6 to
15 minutes to complete, depending on your level of tness. The test ends when your heart rate reaches 85% of
maximum at any time during the test or your heart rate is between 110 bpm and 85% at the end of two consecu-
tive stages. At the end of the test a VO2max score will be given. VO2max stands for Volume of Oxygen uptake which
is a measurement of how much oxygen you need to perform a known amount of work. The YMCA protocol uses
two to four, 3 minute stages of continuous exercise (see charts below). You will be asked to choose either, Male or
Female at the beginning of the test. This choice determines which test parameters will be used during the test as
shown in the charts below. The only caveats are that if you are a very de-conditioned Male you need to choose op-
tion Female. If you are a very conditioned female you need to choose option Male.
