Summary

This study investigates the effect that performing a cardiovascular maximum effort test (the Bruce treadmill protocol) has on performance of the Forward-Step-Down Test (FSDT). The FSDT is performed prior to the fatigue protocol as a baseline measurement, then at 1, 5, and 10 minutes after the fatigue protocol. Participants much reach a certain heart rate (within 10 bpm) of their age predicted maximum heart rate to ensure that the fatigue protocol reaches a maximum fatiguing effort.
