Comparing The Bruce Protocol Test And Graded Exercises
In the lab, five test were completed. The Bruce Protocol Test, Balke Treadmill Test, Q Test, Wingate, and Cooper Run. The Bruce Protocol Test, Balke Treadmill Test, and Q Test are GXT test (Graded Exercise Test). The GXT showed how the body responds to exercise. All of these tests were voluntary which allowed the subject to stop before hitting their maximum effort. It will be hypothesized that for each test completed time, grade percentage, and/or speed made a difference. Everyone has different anaerobic rates, heart rates, motivations, and fitness levels overall. All of these things can determine a person’s health and why the results from these test came out the way they did.

The subject was placed on the treadmill at 7.5 miles per hour with a zero percent grade. The grade percentage increased every three minutes. The subject ran until they felt they could not go on.
In the Bruce Protocol Test, Balke Treadmill Test, and Q test VO2, grade percentage, the highest stage completed, and time were recorded. Each of these test were completed on a treadmill in different conditions. The Balke Treadmill Test and the Q Test speed changed while the graded percentage increased. The Bruce Protocol Test increased in graded percentage, but not speed. Even though speed only changed in the Balke Treadmill Test and Q Test, the highest VO2 Max was in the Bruce Protocol Test. The second highest VO2 was in the Q Test while the lowest test numbers were in the Balke Treadmill Test.
The Cooper Run Test showed that weight, speed, and time makes a difference in heart rates. Subject 1 and Subject 2 weighed more than Subject 3. Subject 3 resting heart rate (8-20 difference between subject 1 and 2) and heart rate after running (32-44 difference between subject 1 and 2) was lower than the other two subjects. Subject 3 finished time was lower than bother Subject 1 and Subject 2 (4.9 - 0.05 difference). This means that Subject 3 fitness level was high or the pace was not high enough to increase heart …show more content…
Maximum effort was not reached, because of this reacquiring with each subject. The Cooper Run Test asked for the subject max effort, if the subject was distracted, not focused, or not motivated then maximal effort may not be achieved. This goes for all of the test given, if the participate is not focused at the test at head they will not be able to give their max. In order to get accurate data for each test, the subjects must be healthy, understand what the test is, what is required, motivation, and determination to finish the
