MAXIMAL OXYGEN CONSUMPTION TEST
This test can be performed on a motor-driven treadmill or an electrically-braked cycle ergometer. Serious cyclists may wish to bring their own pedals and shoes to simulate road cycling. You will be wearing a heart rate monitor and have a mouthpiece in your mouth from which expired air will be collected and analyzed by a machine. The test will begin at a very low level and will progress gradually each minute until you reach fatigue. Heart rate will be recorded each minute.
You will get:
- Maximal Oxygen Consumption
- Anaerobic Threshold
- Anaerobic threshold as a percent of maximal oxygen consumption
- Anaerobic threshold heart rate
- Maximal heart rate
- Aerobic training zone
- Anaerobic training zone
- 20-minute complete evaluation of results, including a comparison of your results to others your age and sex, as well as a comparison to other competitive athletes (if desired).
Cost: $60 ($80 if you would like an electrocardiogram (EKG))
