CHAPTER TEN: FITNESS TEST

How the Test Works

The test consists of four three-minute stages. Stage one is a warmup stage. Stages two, three, and four are at ever-increasing workloads, with your heart rate measured during the second and third minute of each stage. (If the two heart rate samples in a given stage are separated by more than six bpm, that stage is extended for an additional minute.)

The heart rate measured during the last minute of each stage is compared mathematically with workload, and then extrapolated to your age-predicted maximal heart rate (see Appendix A).

The workload corresponding to this heart rate is converted to milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute.
