The Astrand bike test is a submaximal test to calculate the maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) which is an indicator of physical fitness.
You can use the Astrand Treadmill Test to get a quick and accurate measurement of VO 2max. The Astrand protocol maintains a constant running speed with a 2.5% increase in gradient every two minutes, until exhaustion. This test protocol was first described by Per-Olof Astrand (1952).
The Astrand Cycle Fitness Test is a widely respected measure of cardiovascular fitness. This method involves estimating an individual's maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), a vital index of cardiovascular endurance, based on the heart rate response to submaximal exercise.
an Åstrand test to define a test subjects estimated VO2 Max. The Åstrand test is based on the principle that there is a relation between the test subjects heart rate and the maximum oxygen consumption.
The objective of the Astrand Treadmill Test (Astrand 1952) [2] is to monitor the development of the athlete's general endurance (VO 2 max). This test requires the athlete to run as long as possible on a treadmill whose slope increments at timed intervals. I have been unable to locate any normative data for this test.
