[Solved] Step Test Protocol 3 minute test predicts VO2max from recovery heart rate after 3 minutes of stepping subjects exercise
male 22 year old
heart rate = 120
calculate according to image which is 111.33 – (0.42 x 120 HR) =
answer the questions in bold as part of discussion.
talk about differences between step test and cycle ergometer.
also state the limitations.
second question in bold (looking at graphs attached)
heart rate is 120 beats/min
subjects body weight = 62.3kg
for the first part it refers to part II Estimations of vo2 max as shown by the photo
the graph attached shows heart rates plotted against watts and the last dot at the blue line is the actual heart rate of 198 beats/min of the subject (compare to theoretical value)
198 beats/ min corresponds to vo2 max value of 3.2 at (200 watts)- calculate accordingly.
Expert Answer
Answer to Step Test Protocol 3 minute test predicts VO2max from recovery heart rate after 3 minutes of stepping subjects exercise at a rate of 22 steps/min (females) or 24 steps/min (males) after 3 minutes of exercise…..
