Figure 1: General Description of a Graded Exercise Test
Maximum versus Sub-Maximum Tests
**When performing a VO₂ fitness assessment, you may choose to perform
a test where either the client exercises to a maximum effort (VO₂ Max) or a
sub-maximal effort. During a maximum effort test, the client continues the
test until reaching exhaustion.
A Submax test can easily be performed using the CardioCoach.
CardioCoach will detect the client’s Anaerobic Threshold (AT) during the
test.
Once the AT is detected, the test needs to continue for at least one
more minute before stopping the test.
Figure 2 demonstrates the relationship between the workload at the
anaerobic threshold, maximum workload, and the ending workload in a
sub-maximum effort test.
