  • Page 41 Operation It should be kept in mind that any one or all of the above mentioned assumptions may not be met during a sub-maximal exercise test. If for any reason one of the assumptions is not met, then errors in predicting VO (Maximum volume of 2 MAX oxygen consumed per unit of time) will occur.
  • Page 42: Pretest Screening

    Operation The final assumption addresses the issue of mechanical efficiency. Oxygen uptake at any given work rate can vary by approximately 15% between different individuals. Therefore, individuals vary in the amount of oxygen they require to perform a certain exercise workload. Some individuals are more efficient at performing a given task than others.
