    Default walk run performance tests

    Will we have to the various VO2max formulas for the 1.5 mile test, Rockport 1-mile walk test and the step tests?

    Hey guys,

    It has been a few years since I have taken the test but I am pretty sure you do not need to know such specifics. Know generalities.

    Hope this helps.

    ejcoorf,

    Check out the updated section on the ACSM website. Apparently, there is going to be a special button on the exam that you can click, and it will bring up a set of formulae -- so you don't have to memorize them.

    I am guessing the same rule applies to other things that are impossible to remember, e.g. tables, etc.

    Here is the video:
