Why the study?
A new submaximal test (TOP) for evaluating physical fitness was developed to provide a low-load, short-duration alternative to traditional incremental stress tests.
Does a submaximal test (TOP) accurately assess physical fitness compared to an incremental stress test (CPX) in healthy subjects?
Observational (n=100)

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The TOP submaximal test is a valid, low-load alternative to traditional incremental stress testing for classifying physical fitness levels.
