Stress Tests: Stress Test Sequences
The sequences of test phases and test protocols depend upon the exercise
test device being used for the stress test.
With these ergometers, the test phases of the stored test protocols are
the basis for the test sequence. This means that the protocol's initial load
and load increases must be manually entered at the ergometer. Also
manual intervention in the test protocol (such as increasing the load or
sequencing to the next phase) must be repeated at the ergometer.
1. For Ergom./Treadmill, select internal or remote start (Chapter 10,
"Communication" section).
2. Select the test protocol (Chapter 10,
set the corresponding initial load at the ergometer.
Press to initiate the test. Wait approximately 30
seconds until the first ST measurements are taken.
Press and ask the test subject to start pedalling.
Each time you reach the end of a load stage, you must set the load
increase indicated by the program at the ergometer. As a general
rule, all load changes implemented in the test protocol must be
performed manually at the ergometer.
3. During the test, you can do the following.
Advance to the next load stage with
Hold the current stage with
Advance to the recovery phase with
automatically when the stage duration has elapsed.) Enter a
stage duration under 99, because 99 = infinity.
