Study information

Study designRandomised, double blind, controlled, parallel group trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeDiagnostic
Scientific title
Study objectivesIf the 'level of fitness dependant protocol' produces a higher VO2-max in comparison with the adapted Bruce protocol, then a relevant difference can be shown when the results are statistically analysed.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAccuracy of a 'level of fitness dependent protocol'
InterventionSubjects will do both exercise tests with a minimum of one week and a maximum of 3 weeks in between. Which test is taken first is decided by means of chance.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe maximum VO2 of both tests taken.
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
