Validation of a Modified Submaximal Balke Protocol to Assess Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Individuals at High Risk of or With Chronic Health Conditions—A Pilot Study

Objectives: This study aims to validate a submaximal treadmill walking test for estimation of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) in individuals at high risk of or with chronic health conditions.Method: Eighteen participants (age 62 ± 16 years; VO2max 31.2 ± 5.9 ml kg−1 min−1) at high risk of gettin...
