It has been commonly used in different subject groups and practical settings. When and how is it used? What is submaximal testing,? The ability to maintained a healthy lifestyle with the help of doing aerobic exercise is very important for the performing of daily living and activities.The aerobic capacity can be tested to measure the capacity of the individual on the amount of oxygen required (VO2) for the ability to perform submaximal aerobic exercises.Unlike anaerobic power, skeletal muscular strength and the amount of energy generated or produced by the anaerobic metabolic pathway that include ( ATP-PCr and anaerobic glycolytic energy systems )which does not require oxygen, whereas aerobic power refer to the ability of the heart, lungs, blood, muscles, and other organs to transport and utilize oxygen via the aerobic metabolic pathways. Thus to determining an individual's level of cardiorespiratory fitness has been for the general and clinical applications. Measuring of VO2max can be determine in a variety of different settings eg: healthy individuals,elite athlete,and people with known diseases or classified as high risk (for example,obesity and heart disease). Tools needed to perform the test 1. Monark Cycle ergometer 2. Heart Rate Monitor 3. Weight Scale 4. Pen and paper 5. Timer/Stop watch 6. Metronome or cadence sensor The Test Summary of Test Procedures 1. Measure and record the participant's basic data (i.e., BMI,age, height, blood pressure weight, etc.) onto Form
