Study information
| Primary study design | Interventional |
|---|---|
| Study design | Randomised, double blind, controlled, parallel group trial |
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | If 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) studied | Accuracy of a 'level of fitness dependent protocol' |
| Intervention | Subjects 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 type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
