Bruce exercise test

The Bruce exercise test is a method used to assess cardiovascular fitness and heart health. During the test, a person walks on a treadmill that gradually increases in speed and incline every three minutes. The test measures how well the heart responds to exercise by monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs. It helps doctors evaluate heart conditions, design exercise programs, and determine overall fitness levels. The test is often used in rehabilitation settings or for individuals who may have heart disease, ensuring that they can exercise safely and effectively.
