This morning I went to the doctor for the annual appointment to get my medical certificate proving I'm allowed to do sports...
He made me do the Ruffier-Dickson Test to ckeck my capacity to adapt to a physical effort. The test is very basic and you must have experienced it at least once in your life.
The test is run following three steps :
- Take your Heart Rate at rest on 1 minute (sitting or laying down) (P1)
- Make 30 up & down knee flexions within 45 sec with the feet flat on the floor.Take your HR on 15 sec (P2)
- Rest 1 minute, and take your Heart Rate (P3)
