Before Scheduling
This assessment is designed to measure aerobic capacity and support training recommendations through a maximal exercise test. Participants should be able to safely perform vigorous exercise on a treadmill. While VO₂ max is a valuable measure of aerobic fitness, this test is not intended solely to determine maximum heart rate or provide a complete assessment of overall health and fitness.
