My HR after 3 minutes, measured for 1 minute immediately after test and 70 BPM. Metronome was set at 96BPM. step height was 16.5 inches. Male, 65 years.
I don't see how the estimated V02max relates to the table of 'reference values'. The nomogram gives readings between 1.6 and 6.0, and the age related correction factors are between 1.0 and 0.7. So the estimated VO2max readings will always be between about 1.5 and 6.0 (l/min). But the reference table lists values between 20 and 40 (in ml/kg/min). So would the example be 3.8 x 1000 = 3800 ml/min, which then is divided by 80 kg = 47.5 ?
Thanks for the video, but this is not the original test? I like the fact that you take bodyweight into account. The original treats a 60 kg male and a 120 kg male the same, and we all know its heavier to move 120kg than 60. There is a reason most world-class runners are lightweight.
Thank you for the informative video. Where can I obtain a copy of the Monogram? I have seen other videos showing the step height as 20 inches or approx 50cm, is this a modified step test?
Usually I would set the metronome to 90 BPM @ 4/4 time to hit 22.5 SPM. That way the subject can sync their leg movements with each beat. R-up L-up R-Down L-Down, ad-infinitum. Thanks to Physiotutors for the video!
You have made the tests look so easy to understand and perform. Thank you so much

Nice video!
A very great educative video for me as a physiotherapy student, keep it up!
Greetings from The Netherlands.
+Ilay cool! Good to hear! Check the astrand bike test too for VO2max
How does one get that chart that you used to draw the angled line? Thanks!

Cool! Thank-you.
Whether the harvard step test can be used in older people?
Do you know the validity and reability of harvard step test?
Nope, would have mentioned that otherwise.

whats a monogram? maybe screen shot and zoom in at 1 minute 45 seconds.
can you please give us the equation for calculating vo2max by 6 minute step test ? please
Book wala samaj nahi aaya Kya??...
thanks for this video
+Varsha Agrawal no worries! Thx for following!
U r amazing
Where is that chart?
Which chart ?
The v02max chart
That metronome is too slow. Unless its for a specific population
It’s done as described in the protocol
Good video, but the metronome is supposed to be set to 96 beats per minute, not 45. This test is too slow.
Rhyming describe 22.5 steps per minute, thus 45 beats per minute on the metronome
