It may have already taken root among recreational athletes that an exercise stress test matters, but we have not yet managed to see it as a priority. We might think it is essential for beginner athletes (and it is), but it has equal importance for recreational athletes who already have years of experience. Not only because it raises our awareness of our cardiovascular health, but also because it is the most reliable way to have in hand the parameters that will help us make our training more effective.
We may think that the exercise stress test, due to its cost, is only for professionals. And it is far from being so. Its price sits around about 120 euros, which recreational athletes spend without hesitation (and far more) on carbon-plated running shoes, a new GPS watch, or gear bearing our name.
We have been with Dr. María Jesús Núñez, from Healthing, who in this video and in under three minutes gives us the keys to what we need to know about the exercise stress test. A must-see!
