During the graded exercise test, expired air and metabolic responses were measured, in addition to recording each participant's ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) at the end of each stage of the test. During the 30-minute exercise session, which was only conducted after the researchers deemed the participant proficient on the ElliptiGO bike, heart rate and oxygen consumption were recorded each minute as the subjects exercised at a self-selected pace; session RPE was also recorded. The study subjects exercised at an average of 84 percent of HRmax and 75 percent of VO2max during the 30-minute exercise session.
