Stamina test
At Nosefo, you can choose between one of the following 2 alternative endurance tests to document that you satisfy the requirement for oxygen uptake:
- Option 1 (Treadmill test with 17 kg weight and 12% incline) The test person has a backpack with a weight of 17 kg on the back. This corresponds to the weight of the compressed air device consisting of a steel tank. Warm-up with weight load 17 kg on a flat mill at a speed of 4 km/h for three minutes. Then the speed is increased to 5.6 km/h and the incline is set to 12% (= 6.84 degrees). The person completes the test itself for six minutes. Persons who during the test have to relieve by holding the railing next to the treadmill have not passed. (If the subject has to touch the railing / grip the railing until the balance is re-established due to instability, this should not lead to the test being considered as failed).
- Option 2 (Cooper test): A: Warm-up, leisurely jog, 10 min on a flat treadmill at a speed of 8 km/h. After the warm-up is completed, the speed is set at 10.5 km/h and the subject runs for 12 min (flat mill). The test is passed if the person completes 12 minutes of running at this speed.
