This is a more useful assessment as our age population is of the elderly, therefore, we would not be assessing them at their full capacity. The protocol is designed by 3 or more 3-minute workloads that raises the client&#8217;s Heart Rate (HR) between 110bpm and a HR level close to 85% of their maximum. Calculated by: [208 &#8211; (0.7 x age)]. The first Workload is set at 25W (0.5kp); after this stage is completed, the subsequent stage wattages are calculated by the client&#8217;s HR.
