What is it about?
The aim of this study was to derive the regression equation for predicting VO2max of athletes by the relatively new submaximal 3'bike Test.

Why is it important?
The relatively new 3'bike Test has been shown to be more reliable and valid than the Astrand submaximal test, as well as being shorter, more easily executed and a better predictor of VO2max.
Perspectives
Due to the fact that the direct measurement of VO2max testing requires expensive equipment and is quite lengthy in nature, it may be suggested that researchers who do not possess the required cardiopulmonary equipment to accurately measure VO2max can utilize this submaximal test in predicting athletes’ VO2max.
