Rowing machine-based cardiorespiratory endurance testing method

The invention discloses a rowing machine-based cardiorespiratory endurance testing method, and is applicable to cardiorespiratory exercise capacity testing in nationwide fitness programs. More specifically, a testing system consisting of a rowing machine body, a testing analysis platform, a pull data acqusition module and a heart rate acqusition module is utilized to guide a subject to finish two groups of stable continuous pull actions with same pull resistance and pull frequency and different pull powers in a set time so as to monitor heart rate response of the subject in real time, establish a linear model between the stage movement heart rate and the pull power and calculate the pull power corresponding to the highest heart rate of the subject to serve as an evaluation index of the cardiorespiratory endurance. Whole-course real-time guide is realized by using sound, light and video signals, the exercise limit is not required to be reached, the method is suitable for a broader crowd of people and is safer, the testing result can objectively reflect the weakness of the cardiorespiratory endurance, a personalized and differentiated fitness plan can be made for the subjects, the exercise effect is improved and scientific guidance is provided.
