Aerobic Endurance: Fire fighter Specfic
Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) will be measured during a progressive, incremental exercise test to exhaustion on a treadmill.
After a standardized 5-minute warm-up, you will walk at a speed of 3.5 mph and 10% grade for 8 minutes. This is called the constant work rate phase. Once the constant work rate phase is completed you will immediately progress to the incremental phase. During this phase the treadmill speed remains at 3.5 mph but the grade increases 1% every minute to a maximum of 15%. Subsequently, the speed will increase by 0.5 mph each minute while the grade remains at 15% until you can no longer continue. The duration of this test depends on your fitness level and motivation, but usually lasts about 16 minutes.
Generally, the longer the duration of the test, the better the VO2peak score. Aerobic endurance will be evaluated from two test outcomes: total time on the treadmill; and, your VO2peak score.
When the incremental phase is completed, there is a mandatory 5-min cool-down (slow walk on a flat treadmill). In order to pass the treadmill test, you MUST complete the 5-min warm-up, the 8-min constant work rate phase and the 5-minute cool-down (for a total of at least 18 minutes).
During the test, expired gases are monitored with an automated metabolic measurement system to calculate the rate of oxygen consumption. Heart rate is monitored continuously with a telemetry system.

En quoi ça consiste
Most of the appointment is spent checking how your joints and muscles are moving — talking through what you’re noticing, testing movement, posture and tenderness — then doing hands-on joint work or soft-tissue treatment and sending you out with a clear next-step plan.
