Why the study?
To develop a simple submaximal walk test protocol and equation using heart rate response variables to predict maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max).
Does a 3-minute walk test accurately predict maximal oxygen consumption in healthy adults?
Does a 3-minute walk test accurately predict maximal oxygen consumption in healthy adults?
