Document Summary
Introduction: incremental sub-maximal treadmill test used to measure the metabolic responses to prolonged exercise. The purpose of this test it to identify the metabolic response, interpreted through vo2 and hr, to prolonged exercise. The vo2 and hr should increase with exercise intensity in a linear manner due to the increase production of atp until reaching a plateau and eventually showing cardiac drift. This identifies the vo2 max which represents the maximal rate at which the mitochondria use oxygen to produce atp or the maximal aerobic power. Methods: one male and female performed the incremental sub-maximal treadmill test through a protocol of the first 3 stages of 3min at 4mph, 5mph, and 6mph with the last stage of. 30min or until quits at 80% mhr using the equation: [208 - 0. 7(age)] x (0. 8). The order is organized from lowest to highest intensity to accurately record the metabolic responses.
