The goal of submaximal tests is to reach 85% of maximum fitness capacity. It is usually performed on a treadmill or bike. Aerobic fitness, or aerobic capacity, is interchangeable with cardiovascular fitness. Aerobic fitness, or aerobic capacity, is the body"s ability to transfer oxygen to the muscles for energy production for exercise. Vo2 max is the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness.
