Annual treadmill heart stress test at Total Cardiology.<\/p>\n
12 min Peak BP 194\/72 and 159 HR<\/p>\n
Could have done more but ankle issues and had achieved goals\u00a0 with very close to exhaustion point so began slowdown at 12 minutes.<\/p>\n
“Bruce Protocol” –\u00a0 treadmill increases angle and speed every 3 min so change at 12 min.<\/p>\n
Most hit Exhaustion but they also monitor for spiking\/ peak BP or max Heart rate or erratic HR.<\/p>\n
VO2 max Calc is 42.4 so excellent category for any 63 year old. (12.5 min would be 44.4 or superior for 60+)<\/p>\n
This is really a cardiac capacity test and an anaerobic max test so does not say anything about aerobic threshold or long term aerobic endurance.<\/p>\n
note hockey on wed 12 shifts x HR of 135 to 158 and felt good.<\/p>\n
