Gerkin Protocol is a sub maximal VO2 (volume of oxygen) test, that
increases speed and incline alternately until you reach 85% of your
max heart rate (a heart rate monitor is required for this test). The
time it takes for you to reach 85% determines the test score (VO2
Max). The test starts with a 3-minute warm-up at a lower speed.
Air Force, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, PEB and Marine Corps are
US military tests that measure the time required for you to cover a
certain distance. The speed is controlled manually.
