I completed a stress test w/o any preparation while I was in the hospital. 4.5 minutes at 1 3/4 mph at a incline of 10. I was winded when I was done but I was very happy with myself. I’m a 71 year old grandma.

I've been running laps on a flat track for a few weeks now, preparing for this test. I will start going on the treadmill and walking/Jogging with inclinations. Wish me luck 👍

Great explanation vid thanks very much. One question about the stress test: Do we hold the rails of the treadmill or is it not allowed during the actual test?

@FitnessSolutionsPlus 5 ай бұрын

You can hold the front rails

@rolandlowe8945 5 ай бұрын

Awesome. I've been practicing without holding on. It's much more difficult. Probably a good way to prep for the test. Cheers. @@FitnessSolutionsPlus

@@rolandlowe8945 yeah, when training, I recommend not holding. This way, when the test comes, and you're allowed to hold, you do better

Nice! Is tennis a good way to train for the stress test?

@FitnessSolutionsPlus Жыл бұрын

Tennis is a lot of fun, and if you play singles, in general is good cardiovascular exercise. But unfortunately it won't help you pass the stress test, since it's not a deliberate attempt to improve cardiovascular fitness. With tennis, people may (or may not) get improvements in cardiovascular fitness, but even if they do, it's really a side benefit of tennis.

Hello I enjoyed your video and really appreciated your completeness, I need some guidance if you would. I need to take the test to get my 3rd class medical back after a heart stent. I am 67, and have been training for a while and can get through the first two stages, 10% @ 1.7 & 12% @2.5, but struggle in third stage and have never yet gotten to 9 minutes, and my heart rate is around 150 after the second stage. If I can not do the 9 minutes, with my heart rate within the 85% then is that a complete failure??

@FitnessSolutionsPlus 6 ай бұрын

Yes, unfortunately that's the case. Best of luck in your training

What's the 3rd stage ? Speed and Incline info pls.

I have a right branch block, it shows up time to time on ECG, but not all the time, some ECGs are normal. I recently had a CT Calcium score of 209 (58 year old) and my cardiologist wants me to do a stress test. Is this safe for me to do having this right branch block condition?

@FitnessSolutionsPlus Жыл бұрын

Great question, but unfortunately I'm not able to answer it. You'd have to speak with a cardiologist.

Is this Treadmill result good for a 46-year-old man and for serving as a private in an army? During the 2nd stage after 2:36 minutes, the speed of 2.5 mph, an incline angle of 12 degrees, the blood pressure reached 205/87 mm Hg, a heart rate of 155 bpm.

It's about average, to maybe slightly below average.
