To get a baseline measurement of your current fitness, a physical activity assessment such as an Astrand Test can be performed on a stationary bike.

Following a gentle warmup on a stationary bicycle, you’ll continue to cycle for six minutes at a moderate intensity (you’ll probably get a mild sweat on but still be able to have a conversation). We’ll then use the data from this test to estimate your overall fitness and estimated heart rate zones for exercise.

Please allow for 45-60 minutes for the entire appointment.
