How It Works
Getting started with Cardiac Fitness takes less than five minutes. Follow these simple steps:
- 1. Subscribe to the CARDIAC-FITNESS APP Google Play and App store. $19.99 monthly $179.99 yearly (25% discount)he App Store or Google Play.
- 2. Create your account and profile. Enter your log in information and create a password. Enter your demographics, fitness goals, and residential location.
- 3. Review the DASBOARD. This is crucial as it will enhance your understanding of the test protocols and the fitness variables that will be evaluated.
- 4. Select the test protocol. Based on your current fitness level and preferred exercise mode (treadmill or stationary bike).
- 5. Complete your first test. Review your results. Compare your performance with the age and gender-matched norms.
- 6. Monitor the trend. Repeat protocol every 3 to 4 weeks under similar conditions to evaluate trends in fitness and cardiac health.
Supported Testing Protocols & Techniques
Cardiac Fitness integrates three scientifically validated protocols for assessing cardiovascular health
Bruce Protocol — Treadmill Graded Exercise Test
The Bruce Protocol is a standardized, multi-stage treadmill stress test developed by American cardiologist Dr. Robert A. Bruce. It is one of the most widely used tools in clinical cardiology and sports fitness assessment.
HOW IT WORKS
- The patient walks on an uphill treadmill, beginning at a low speed and incline.
- Every 3 minutes, both the speed and incline increase — progressing through up to 7 stages.
- Heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG readings are monitored continuously.
- The test ends when the subject reaches maximum exertion or a clinical endpoint.
KEY METRICS

HRR

Fitness Interpretation (METs)
Poor (<5)
Fair (5-8)
Good(>10)
Pro-Tip: Usually performed in a clinical setting
under professional supervision for maximum
accuracy.
Cooper Test — 12-Minute Run Test
The Cooper Test is a maximum-effort running field test developed by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968, originally designed to assess the aerobic capacity of U.S. military personnel. It remains a gold-standard self-assessment tool worldwide.
HOW IT WORKS
- The individual runs as far as possible in exactly 12 minutes on a flat, measured surface.
- A 400-metre running track is ideal for accurate distance measurement.
- Total distance covered is recorded and used to estimate VO2 Max.
- Results are compared against age- and gender-specific fitness norms.
VO2 Max Formula
VO2 Max = (Distance - 504.9) / 44.73
*Distance must be in meters
“The Cooper Test provides a practical method for estimating maximal oxygen intake and physical performance.”
— Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, JAMA, 1968
Cycle Ergometer Tests
Cycle ergometer testing provides a controlled, non-weight-bearing method to assess cardiovascular fitness. It is particularly valuable for individuals with joint or musculoskeletal limitations, or for clinical and rehabilitation settings.
3a. Standard Cycle Ergometer Test
HOW IT WORKS
- The subject is seated on a stationary cycle ergometer with resistance calibrated to body weight and baseline fitness.
- Exercise begins with a 2–4 minute warm-up at low resistance (typically 40 W).
- Workload increases progressively in stages of 2–3 minutes.
3b. Self-Selected Protocol Cycle Ergometer Test
The Self-Selected Protocol allows subjects to set their own comfortable cycling pace and resistance, making the test accessible to a wider range of fitness levels, including clinical populations.
Protocol Features
- Initial workload is individualized based on the subject's predicted heart rate reserve (HRR).
- Cadence begins at 50 RPM — a comfortable rate for most adults.
- Resistance increases every 2 minutes based on the subject's heart rate response.
