Bruce Protocol

Introduction

Maximal oxygen uptake is defined as the region in which oxygen consumption plateaus or increases only slightly with additional increases in exercise intensity. Maximal oxygen uptake is also known as maximal oxygen consumption, maximal aerobic power, aerobic capacity, or VO2 max. The maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is a measure of a subject's ability to take in and utilize oxygen during exercise. A subject with a greater VO2 max value will exhibit greater potential to sustain high intensity exercise for an extended length of time. Theoretically, subjects with greater VO2 max values possess greater concentrations of hemoglobin in the blood, thus enabling them to utilize more oxygen during intense exercise.
The first VO2 Max test performed was the YMCA Bike Test. This test was performed on a cycle ergometer which was calibrated by the test administer. The bike test predicts maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) based upon the steady-state heart rate during......
