Our collaborator Healthing gives us in this article 5 reasons why you should do an effort test.
The Effort Test with gas analysis is a diagnostic exploration that assesses the response of the organism in the different phases of exercise, from rest to maximum effort.
The stress test is performed on an ergometer (treadmill or bicycle). During the time of the test, cardiological and ventilatory monitoring is maintained. The first is essential to rule out arrhythmias, exercise abnormalities or cardiac pathologies and is performed with a continuous electrocardiogram during exercise.
Blood pressure and pulse at rest, maximum effort and recovery are also measured. Ventilatory monitoring requires performing the exercise with a mask (somewhat uncomfortable), which allows the oxygen and CO2 exchange to be measured in each breath, so that when maximum effort is reached, the Maximum Oxygen Consumption or VO2 can be measured. the Stress Test offers us the Thresholds, Aerobic Threshold and Anaerobic Threshold, which delimit us the different types of training and allows the improvement of our rhythms, in training and in races.
