TEST SPECIFIC ISSUES
CHAPTER TEN: FITNESS TEST
Note that the absolute accuracy of this test is approximately +/- 15% compared to a laboratory maximal test. (See Swain and Leutholtz, Metabolic Calculations, page 63). The results on the CS8.0 bike should be somewhat better since it uses an improved maximum heart rate formula (see Appendix A).
The repeatability accuracy, from test to test with the same test subject, should be much better, probably within +/- 7%.
Personal Power is used to calculate work levels that are more appropriate than in the standard YMCA protocol.
