Question

Submax VO2 Lab Report (Question Style) 1) Discuss reasons why the use of submax cardiovascular tests is necessary in certain situations (rather than using a max test) (25 pts) 2) For the YMCA test, explain how and why the two workloads, their associated heart rates and an estimate of max heart can be used to estimate VO2max. (25 pts) 3) Discuss 3 potential sources of error that could have affected the VO2max estimate during this lab. (25 pts) 4) Explain why bicycle tests may be problematic when they are used to produce an estimate of VO2max (25 pts.)

Explanation / Answer

Submaximal stress or cardiovascular test are tests used to test the cardiovascular function at the submaximal level.

These are important while testing the patients with high risk factor and chronic disabilities like hypertension and heart failure.

Instead of performing at the maximum extent always a risk of collapse during testing, submaximal levels are preferred

One more advantage of sub maximal test is used to design various exercise activities for the patients with cardiovascular diseases which the sub maximal levels are risk free because it identifies the threshold point where the patients become tired and we can design the programmes sub maximally.
