What are the 5 submax test assumptions
• a steady-state heart rate is obtained for each exercise work rate • a max HR for a given age is uniform • mechanical efficiency is the same for everyone • there is a linear relationship between HR and workload • HR will vary depending on fitness level between subjects at any given workload
what are some advantages of submax testing
• safer • controlled pace • not population specific • quick assessment • cost effective • do not need highly trained personnel • can do mass testing • no physician supervision required
wha are some disadvantages of submax testing
• VO2 max is not directly measured • not a measure of true maximal heart rate
what are the advantages to max testing?
accuracy
what are the disadvantages to max testing?
health risk time expensive personnel
