Abstract
A nomogram is described for obtaining the value of maximum oxygen consumption per kilogram of body weight from the heart rate values observed at two submaximal work loads. The exercise consists in stepping up and down a 30- to 40-cm bench at a frequency dictated by a metronome. This procedure can be applied to all classes of subjects; the variability of the data obtained is within ±7% with those directly determined.
