Aerobic Tests - Astrand Cycle Test
The Astrand-Rhyming submaximal cycle ergometer test is designed to
predict VO2 max from a 6 minute exercise period. It is one of the most
widely used submaximal exercise tests. The testing procedure requires
a steady heart rate
(HR)at an appropriately selected submaximal work rate
(kpm/ min or watts). This information together with a predicted
maximal heart rate and an age correction factor, is used to predict
the subjects VO2max.
