• Methods
– Immediately increase the load to a level which preliminary
experiments have found to be the predicted maximum load for
the subject and maintain this level for 3 to 6 minutes.
– Increase the load in several steps (submaximal, maximal,
supramaximal) with the subject exercising at each level for 5 to 6
minutes, with or without rest periods between loads
– Increase the load stepwise every or every other minute until
exhaustion.
• However, training at 50% of maximum for 15-30 minutes,
3 times a week has been shown to increase maximum
aerobic power
