TESTING WHILE ON MEDICATIONS

• Individuals on Calcium Channel Blockers or Beta Blockers for heart related conditions can still benefit from metabolic testing.  Fasting should not include the cessation of your normal perscription medication routine. 
  • Graded intensity exercise test is modified not to exceed anaerobic threshold.  All normal recorded information takes place. 

PREPARING FOR YOUR TEST

• Before your testing you will need to fast for 12 hours.  Only water and prescription medication should be taken during your fast.  You may want to bring a snack for after your test. You should dress appropriately for exercise activity. If you are performing your exercise test on the bike, you may want to bring your cycling shoes.

• During the resting test you will be sitting in a chair for approximately 20min.  You can not sleep, read, or perform any activities that could excite you during the resting test.

 

• During the VO2 testing you will be exercising on either a treadmill, eliptical, or bicycle (depending on your preference) for approximately 8-12 minutes. 
• Both tests require you to wear a ventilation mask which covers your nose and mouth in order to catch all expired air for analysis. Please refrain from wearing any consmetics. 
• You will be prompeted during your sign-up process to fill out a medical history questionnaire.  If you have problems, please contact Kelly or Tyler below.
