ACCURACY OF THE GERKIN TEST

CHAPTER FOUR: FITNESS TESTS

The scientific journal, Occupational Medicine, published a study in 2004 on the accuracy of the Gerkin test. The conclusion:

“The Gerkin treadmill protocol overpredicts VO2max in healthy men and women and, therefore, should not be used for predicting VO2max in individual firefighters, particularly if VO2max is a criterion for inclusion or exclusion from duty. At this time, a valid treadmill running test is needed for predicting the VO2max value of individual firefighters.”

However, for the fitness enthusiast who is interested in monitoring their fitness level, the Gerkin test can be used to measure progress over time.
