This maximal exercise test determines your rate of oxygen consumption, training heart rate zones, and ventilatory threshold. VO₂ Max is a gold standard for individuals who truly desire specific heart rate training information to improve health, wellness, and performance.
Note: Because this test requires maximal physical exertion, it may not be appropriate for everyone. Participants will be screened prior to testing, and individuals with certain medical conditions, health concerns, or other risk factors may be asked to obtain medical clearance before participating.
Time required: 45–60 minutes
