The Bruce Protocol is a standardized treadmill test used to assess cardiovascular fitness and estimate VO2 max through progressively difficult stages.
Used by cardiologists to evaluate heart health, exercise capacity, and detect coronary artery disease.
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures exercise intensity. 1 MET = resting oxygen consumption.
Commonly used in stress tests to monitor ECG changes, blood pressure, and symptoms during exercise.
Helps athletes and fitness enthusiasts track cardiovascular improvements over time.
