Excerpt from a YouTube video ("Optimize Your Wellness with an Easy Assessment") showing a demonstration of a graded exercise test: resistance is increased until exhaustion, heart rate is monitored (example given ~100 bpm), and a final 2.5-minute recovery period measures how quickly heart rate returns to baseline. The speaker notes the test is appropriate for people at any fitness level.
And so he's going to keep increasing the resistance until he reaches exhaustion. Currently, as the heart rate increases. I can see it for on here. And then the last stage is just a 2 1/2 minute recovery period where we want to see how quickly heart rate and restoration go back down to baseline level. Wonderful. So I see his heart rate's gone up a little bit, but it's still only around 100 because the seat's in good shape. This is not a very difficult workout for him.
And so can anyone in any fitness level do this test? Oh, yes, definitely.
