Graded Exercise Test

A Graded Exercise Test is a medical assessment where a person walks or bikes on a treadmill or stationary bike while gradually increasing the intensity of exercise. It helps doctors evaluate how well the heart, lungs, and muscles respond to physical activity. By monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels during the test, clinicians can identify issues like heart problems or assess fitness levels. The test is usually done under supervision to ensure safety and can guide treatment or training plans. It provides valuable insights into a person's cardiovascular and respiratory health in a controlled environment.
