The following review by Sartor et al. (2013) underlines the importance, of submaximal VO2max assessment in investigating cardiovascular health, performance, and functional capacity, as well as its effectiveness in aiding the development of exercise prescription. There are a multitude of submaximal testing protocols, however knowing the appropriate test to apply to a sporting, clinical and/or home setting can prove to be difficult, hence the main objective of this review was to provide an accessible tool for an adequate and suitable submaximal exercise test selection.
