Sample Testing Sequences
Treadmill Test:
When performing a VO₂/Exercise test on a treadmill there are two variables
that must be considered:
● Workload (% incline)
● Cadence (Speed MPH/KPH).
One variable should remain constant while the other variable is being
adjusted during the test. In other words, adjust either the incline or the
speed during each stage, but not both during the same stage.
Ask your client before the test where they are comfortable with the speed.
Some people may like a fast walk to a light jog, and others prefer a
moderate to fast jog. On average, the speed could be between four – seven
mph.
The following protocol provides a gradual heart rate increase that should
provide optimal results.
