16. AT Detect. When the AT Detected message is shown, tell the client that
their anaerobic threshold (AT) has been detected and advise them to
continue increasing their workload until they feel tired and do not want
to continue any more. At least one stage of workload data past AT will
be required to calculate the thresholds.
• If the client wishes to discontinue testing before the AT
Detected message is displayed, he or she should be allowed to
do so. In this instance, test results may not permit reliable data.
17. Submask Test. The test may be terminated after the AT detect for a
SubMax test. A submaximal test allows you to gather key information
about a client without having to push them to a maximal effort. This is
preferred for most non-clinical settings and is highly recommended.
Once the AT has been detected, CardioCoach PRO will report the
following cardio-respiratory data points:
• Aerobic Threshold,
• Anaerobic Threshold,
• Peak Heart Rate, and
• Extrapolated Max Heart Rate.
KORR uses an algorithm based on well validated studies to calculate an
extrapolated VO
2
Max, when a Sub-Max test is performed. This
algorithm utilizes both the trajectory of the heart rate measured during
testing, as well as an age-predicted maximum, to determine the
predicted VO
2
Max (had the client continued testing), or an extrapolated
VO
2
Max.
18. Peak Heart Rate. The peak or highest heart rate reached during the test
is recorded as the Peak Heart Rate.
19. VO
2
Max. If the client pushes their effort to a maximum effort, the
PEAK HEART RATE will result in a VO
2
MAX measurement.
20. End Test. To stop the test, by click or tap the Stop Test button. This is
usually done when the client indicates they want to stop the test.
a) The Cancel button will allow the test to continue.
b) The Abort button will stop the test, save the data, but not tabulate
results.
c) The Stop Test button will proceed to the option for recovery, save
data, and tabulate results.
19. Recovery. Respond to the Begin Recovery Yes/No? prompt.
a) Click Yes to begin a 2-minute recovery period. The mask may then
be removed, but the heart rate monitor should remain securely on
the client during the recovery period.
Note: In no case should the client ever be forced or
encouraged to exercise at an intensity level beyond the level
that has been determined to be safe by their physician.
