CLINICAL INDICATIONS

Evaluate specific symptoms or signs that may be aggravated or induced by exercise

Assess or identify abnormal response to exercise in subjects with disease

Evaluate prognosis (i.e. surgical risk)

Assess the effectiveness of medical or surgical treatments

Establish baseline for rehabilitation

EXERCISE TESTING PROTOCOLS

CYCLE ERGOMETER

To determine predicted maximal power

output

VO2 = VO2unl + (10 – T ) X 10 X S

T = time constant

S = slope of the rate of increase

(VO2 max predicted - VO2 rest)/10 = predicted max. power output (power in watts)

EXERCISE TESTING PROTOCOLS

CYCLE ERGOMETER

Example: Predicted VO2 = 2300 mls

Rest VO2 = 300 mls

2300-300/10 = 200 watts predicted max

10 minutes = 200/10 = 20 watt increment or ramp

Reduce the predicted max workload for subjects with reduced exercise tolerance

Increase the estimated maximal power output for very fit subjects
