To test the performance of a tool designed to estimate functional capacity in order to select a bicycle ramp protocol yielding a test duration from 8 to 12 min in healthy individuals, and to assess differences in exercise responses between bicycle and treadmill tests. PARTICIPANTS AND MEASURES: Forty-one healthy and physically active volunteers (10 women; median age, 37 years; interquartile range [IQR], 29.5 to 41 years) performed an individualized ramp exercise protocol on a bicycle ergometer and a treadmill in random order. Prior to testing, the Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ) combined with a modified variant of the VSAQ nomogram (metabolic equivalents [METs] derived from VSAQ and age with the modified nomogram, resulting in METs nomogram) was used to estimate exercise capacity and to select the treadmill protocol. The corresponding bicycle work capacity nomogram (in watts) was derived by the following equation: (METs nomogram - 1) x body weight/3.486.
