- Abstract
We set out to check the validity of an effort test that is aimed at assessing maximal aerobic power on electromagnetic brake bicycle with male subjects, aged between 20 and 30 years, untrained. The test was implemented at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport with 8 untrained subjects with a mean age of 23.38 years, mean weight 80.9 kg and height 175.6 cm. The test protocol requires that the subject to follow the next steps: 5 minutes joint gymnastics, pedaling a bicycle at 133 W, then pedaling until exhaustion, the resistance increasing with 23.5 W/min. The evaluation was done using a Polar RS800 cardiofrecventiometer, gas analyzer FitMate PRO and pulse oxymeter Contech WK 50D. The bike model used is the Vision Fitness E3200. Each subject has sustained two effort tests at an interval of rest for 2 hours. Following data statistical analysis it was found a strong correlation between the maximal oxygen consumption and the maximal aerobic power determined for each test.
