VO2 Test
The VO2 program is based on the YMCA protocol and is a
sub-maximal test that uses pre-determined, xed work levels that
are determined based on the heart rate readings measured as the
test progresses. The test will take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes
to complete, depending on the tness level of the user. The test ends
when the user’s heart rate reaches 85% of maximum at any time
during the test, or the heart rate is between 110 bpm and 85% at the
end of two consecutive stages. At the end of the test a VO2max score
will be displayed.
The YMCA protocol employs two to four stages, lasting 3 minutes
each, of continuous exercise (see charts below). You will be prompted
to choose either, Male or Female at the beginning of the test. This
choice determines which protocol will be used during the test as
shown in the charts below. The only caveat is if you are a very
de-conditioned male you may need to choose option Female. If you
are a very conditioned female you may need to choose option Male.
