Participation What is the time difference between the astrand vs ymca? 6mins vs 3mins

1. When would you perform submaximal testing as opposed to a maximal exercise test to assess vo2max? You would perform a submaximal test when a person is not physically able to perform the maximal exercise test for safety reasons or if you do not have the correct equipment to do a maximal exercise test. 2. Why is it necessary to obtain accurate data when using submaximal protocols? It is necessary to obtain accurate data because the results do not achieve the same results as a maximal exercise test so we have to expand/ predict our data in order to estimate close to the real VO2max. Inaccurate measurements will lead to inaccurate VO2max estimates.

3. Identify two assumptions regarding submaximal testing. Be sure to identify why these factors, if not assumed would influence the data? Mechanical efficiency is the same for everyone- If not assumed than we cannot use the data because sub maximal testing does not estimate the mechanical efficiency. The subject is not taking medication that may alter HR.- If not assumed then the data for heart rate would not be accurately predicted in the VO2max....
