Description: |
You will receive information regarding your maximal
oxygen consumption (VO2 Max) and heart rate during levels of
high intensity exercise. This may help you train more efficiently
for your chosen endurance sport. This testing procedure is not
intended to set-up an exercise program or provide coaching, but
to augment an existing or future regiment. The
pre-training exercise test is intended to present a baseline
measurement of your current capabilities before beginning a strenuous
training regime as well as sound data to cater your training
for you. The post-training exercise test is to see how effective
your training was, and where to base your future training endeavors. |
|
Test: |
You will have breathing tests done to measure
your forced vital capacity (FVC) and measure your maximal voluntary
ventilation (MVV). You will be attached to a 10 lead EKG and
have your cardiac function monitored for the duration of the
testing procedure. You will also be attached to a pulse oximeter
to measure your pulse and your blood oxygen saturation. |
|
Length of Time: |
Approximately one hour for each study. Please
arrive 30 minutes before your appointment. |
|
Preparation: |
Be sure to dress in comfortable clothing and
shoes so you may ride a stationary bike without restriction. |
