Issues
Note that the absolute accuracy of this test is approximately
+/- 15% compared to a laboratory maximal test. (See Swain and
L
eutholtz, Metabolic Calculations, page 63). The results on the TS1
should be somewhat better since it uses an improved maximum
heart rate formula (see Appendix A).
T
he repeatability accuracy, from test to test with the same test
subject, should be much better, probably within +/- 7%.
