Going to the next level now. And what level are you at now? I am at 14. So it’s getting fairly hard. So what level are you at now? I’m at 9/20 exertion level. So there’s the first level now = 7/20 RPE (rating of perceived exertion 6-20 point scale). We’re going to keep going up to about hard or maybe even very hard. I’m going to measure your heart rate and record your work rate (speed and gradient) on the treadmill each minute and input that into the program. Now we’re going to start at a level equivalent to very, very light exercise intensity and each minute we’re going to increase the speed a little and see how you go. Towards the end of the test, we can keep the speed constant and increase gradient each minute until we reach our stopping point (either fatigue or you have had enough). This is a test designed specifically for you, so we’re going to start at a level you can start easily. Olivia, we’re going to do a personalized exercise test on a treadmill, we’re not using look up tables or published protocols. You will start off walking, then gradually progress to jogging and finally running at a speed that will be at fairly high intensity for you.
