About this document
Treadmill CPET Protocol for Athletes by stoicea catalin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes a treadmill load protocol for evaluating the maximum aerobic capacity and anaerobic threshold of athletes. The protocol involves a constant 3% grade with speed increases of approximately 1 kph every 30 seconds, starting at 5-7 kph. This allows most athletes to reach VO2max in 5-10 minutes. Safety precautions are emphasized when testing athletes due to risks of falling. The protocol can be modified by decreasing speed increments or extending stage durations for less fit athletes.
