VO2 Submax Test

Vo2 Submax

Test Description: VO2 Submax
Test Length: 60 minutes

The VO2 Submax Test follows a similar protocol as the VO2 Max but the test is terminated at approximately 85% of the client鈥檚 predicted maximum capacity (determined by heart rate). This is a less invasive test (without use of the metabolic analyzer) and provides data to determine appropriate training zones. The submax exercise test can be used to estimate maximal VO2. Metabolic Analyzer is not used with these tests.


Data Collected

Heart rate, grade, speed or watts, RPE (rate of perceived exertion), and blood pressure.

Low/Moderate Risk: Clients must be "apparently healthy" and meet the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Risk Stratification criteria of Low Risk for a max test or of Moderate Risk for submax test. A physician's medical clearance may be provided for authorization in some instances. All clients must complete and submit the following forms prior to their testing day: a health history, medical clearance (if Moderate Risk), and Informed Consent (provided at time of test).

No one with a risk stratification of High Risk will be allowed to be assessed in the Human Performance Lab. We regret not being able to provide the cardiorespiratory testing to this population though they may indicate higher performance capacities than some of lower risk. In all cases we encourage checking with your physician prior to testing and exercise training.

Note: At the start of your appointment we will complete remaining paperwork and briefly review test procedures.
