Unlike treadmills, bikes reduce the risk of tripping or falling, making them a safer option, esp. for older or less conditioned individuals.
Also, because the bike supports the user’s weight, subjects can push harder w/o the fear of falling, allowing for a truer max effort.
Even after adjusting for traditional cardiac risk factors, higher CRF was strongly associated with a lower mortality risk. Lower CRF was linked to higher death rates.
What would your CPET say?
Dr. Robert Butler:
1975 - Founding director of the National Institute on Aging
1990- Founded US branch of International Longevity Center
1995 - Chair to White House Conference on Aging
Dr. Butler learned the importance of exercise in regard to aging/longevity. His thoughts? 👇
By reducing the spread of respiratory droplets, filters protect patients and staff from bacterial/viral exposures.
Not only does this improve safety for all involved, pulling out a fresh filter for each patient gives them peace of mind and a more comfortable testing experience.
Depression is not only a mental health issue + can contribute to a higher rate of IHD + cardiac events.
Met-Test's CPET spots IHD before symptoms appear. Early detection + tailored management reduces IHD burden, prevents IHD progression, + leads to improved mental health status.
Although selected CPET parameters relate to severity of angina symptoms and quality of life, only an oxygen-pulse plateau detects the severity of myocardial ischemia and predicts the efficacy of PCI in patients with single-vessel CAD.

TMSTs have been a standard tool for assessing heart health, but they have limitations.
Why is CPET better than the treadmill stress test?
1. Comprehensive Data
2. Precision & Accuracy
3. Personalized Treatment Plans
Why aren't more doctors using CPET?
CPET = higher sensitivity, more comprehensive, and earlier detection
Traditional TMST have been a standard tool for assessing heart health, but they have limitations—limitations that the Met-Test's CPET overcomes.
Stay tuned for why more docs aren’t using it!

Check out our most recent case study!
While this patient presented with ongoing fatigue, her MD ordered a MET-TEST CPET for the Zone 2 exercise prescription. Turns out there was more beneath the surface.
We're so thankful our service was able to help!

Peak VO2 is the #1 predictor of longevity. An exercise intervention in sedentary adults can attenuate the natural age-related decline in PeakVO2 and help improve overall lifespan and healthspan.
