“Stop”
When the client signals to stop the test, stop the treadmill or slow the
treadmill down to two mph at 0% incline and let the client walk to cool
down. Take the mask off while the heart rate monitor continues to monitor
recovery time.
At this point, click the Stop Test button on the CardioCoach software. It will
ask you to start recovery from Now or Peak . If a minute or so has passed
while taking care of your client, select From Peak .
You’ve just completed a graded exercise test!
Cycle / Ergometer Test
When performing a VO
₂
/Exercise test on a cycle/ergometer there are two
variables that must be considered:
●
Workload (Watts)
●
Cadence (RPMs)
One variable should be constant while the other variable is being adjusted
during each stage of the test.
Figure 3 illustrates a graded exercise test on a stationary cycle. Many bikes
allow the workload (Watts) to be set. Some stationary bikes can be
programmed to perform a power increment test.
Figure 3 shows a power increment test starting at 50 Watts and increasing
at a rate of 25 Watts or 20 Watts every minute. This is the simplest way to
perform a graded exercise test.
WARNING : During the test periodically ask your client how they are
feeling! Tell them to signal to stop the test at ANY TIME they feel
discomfort of any kind.
