RESULTS OF EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY PRACTICAL USING A SIMPLE STEP TEST TO CALCULATE VO2 MAX.

Lovely to meet you today. Here are most of your class exercise physiology results. You can download the Excel spreadsheet and play around with the data yourself. Here also is a short Screencast talking you through the spreadsheet and showing you the nomogram which is used clinically to predict someone’s VO2 max. The paper by Noone and Dean (2000) talks about how this and similar exercise tests are validated, and how they are used clinically. The validity and reliability of these tests are important, as is inter observer variability. (Go look up!).
