Vo2 Max Test Lab Report
Detecting ECG Daniela Paszkiewicz and Lyndsey Wessel Abnormalities in VO2 Max Tests
ECG
“An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a medical test that detects cardiac (heart) abnormalities by measuring the electrical activity generated by the heart as it contracts.”

Function of Electrocardiograph
Electrocardiograph measures a patients ECG ECG can help detect a variety of health conditions ECG frequency is calculated using a Fourier series as it is a periodic waveform Measures heart muscle activity by monitoring

The electrodes detect the electrical currents generated by the heart. After all procedures, electrodes are removed and results are analyzed immediately.
VO2 Max
“the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise”

Function of VO2 Max Test
Considered best indicator of cardio respiratory endurance and aerobic fitness VO2 max is expressed relative to body weight VO2 Max tests measure; Max O2 uptake, aerobic power and aerobic http://www.cbc.ca/canada/britishcolumbia/features/athletesblog/image s/treadmill.jpg

Application of VO2 Max Test
Scoring of VO2 Max Tests:
–
Results are shown in either L/min (liters per minute) or ml/kg/min (mls of O2 per kilogram of body weight per minute) VO2 max is reached when the following occur; Plateau of O2 uptake Max HR is reached Respiratory exchange ratio of 1:15 or greater Volitional Exhaustion

Relevance of ECG and VO2 Max Test
ECG
–
ECG testing determines whether heart problems or abnormalities exist, and this can then aid in writing specialised training programs. Knowing whether heart abnormalities or problems exist also allows sports scientists and exercise scientists to be aware of limitations of athletes or patients.

VO2 Max Test
–
VO2 max scores can be used to give an indication of CV endurance and aerobic capacity, and can be used by Sports Scientists when working with elite
