2. Subject • Al B. There is an account executive who works in the music industry. He is 42 years old, weighs 192 pounds and is 5 foot 10 inches tall. His resting BP is 132/78 mmHg and his resting HR is 73 bpm. He rarely exercises but wants to begin a program.

3. Begin YMCA Protocol • When is mandatory stopping point? • 85% of max HR or 70% of HR reserve. • Next

4. Begin YMCA Protocol • 3 min of warm up - work rate = 75 kgm/min • Test begins • Next

5. First stage work rate = 150 kg • HR @ 1st min = 87 • HR @ 2nd min = 99 • HR @ 3rd min = 94 • BP @ 3rd min = 144/82 • RPE @ 3rd min = 3 (scale of 1-10) • Next

6. Second stage work rate = 600 kgm/min • HR @ 4th min = 112 • HR @ 5th min = 116 • BP@ 5th min = 152/80 mmHg • HR @ 6th min = 118 • RPE = 5 • Next

7. Third stage work rate = 750 kgm/min • HR @ 7th min = 132 • HR @ 8th min = 136 • HR @ 9th min = 137 • BP @ 9th min = 168/78 mmHg • RPE = 7 • Next Stage or End Test

8. No Need For Next Stage • HR stayed within 5 beats during last 2 min of 3rd stage. • Go Back

9. Recovery • Active recovery @ 150 kgm/min • HR @ 1st min = 122 • HR @ 2nd min = 116 • HR @ 3rd min = 110 • Passive recovery @ no pedaling • HR @ 4th min = 98 • HR @ 5th min =95 • Conclude Protocol • Next

10. Predict Maximal Oxygen Uptake • Next
