    The document describes the Astrand submaximal cycle ergometer test protocol for determining VO2max. The test involves cycling at a constant workload and cadence for 6 minutes while heart rate is recorded. There are three levels of the test for well-trained, trained, and untrained cyclists based on different constant power outputs. Upon completion, the average heart rate of the final two minutes is used to calculate VO2max.

    Astrandtest
    What do you need? A Tacx ergotrainer or Catalyst Training Software. (If you use the Tacx Basic, a heart-rate monitor) and a friend who assist you and records the information. What to do? Two days prior the test no racing and no hard work-outs Do not eat two hours prior to the test and do not drink caffeine If repeating the test, keep circumstances the same (time, bike, tire pressure, etc.) Try to get cadence on 80 rpm for the entire test Try to maintain a constant speed The test is available in three levels:

    ASTRANDTEST
    for well trained cyclists Start with a warming-up of 5 minutes with low power (50 watt and 80 rpm). Increase the power. Choose your power (men: 200-225 watt; women: 150-175 watt) and ride 6 minutes on this power. Attention: the cadence and speed have to be the same during the entire test. Record heartrate at the end of every minute. Calculate the average of the last 15 seconds of every minute. Do a cooldown after 6 minutes and keep riding a few minutes on low power. Calculate the average heart rate of minute 5 and 6 after the test. Fill in the results on the entry form and your VO2max will be calculated automatically.

    ASTRANDTEST
    for trained cyclists Start with a warming-up of 5 minutes with low power (50 watt and 80 rpm). Increase the power. Choose your power (men: 125-175 watt; women: 125-150 watt) and ride 6 minutes on this power. Attention: the cadence and speed have to be the same during the entire test. Record heartrate at the end of every minute. Calculate the average of the last 15 seconds of every minute. Do a cooldown after 6 minutes and keep riding a few minutes on low power. Calculate the average heart rate of minute 5 and 6 after the test. Fill in the results on the entry form and your VO2max will be calculated automatically.

    ASTRANDTEST
    for untrained cyclists Start with a warming-up of 5 minutes with low power (50 watt and 80 rpm). Increase the power. Choose your power (men: 100-125 watt; women: 75-100 watt) and ride 6 minutes on this power. Attention: the cadence and speed have to be the same during the entire test. Record heartrate at the end of every minute. Calculate the average of the last 15 seconds of every minute. Do a cooldown after 6 minutes and keep riding a few minutes on low power. Calculate the average heart rate of minute 5 and 6 after the test. Fill in the results on the entry form and your VO2max will be calculated automatically.
