Abstract
For older adults, performing activities of daily living (ADLs) requires generating short bursts of energy anaerobically.1 The current gold standard for measuring anaerobic threshold (AT) is the Wingate Anaerobic Test, which requires a specialized bicycle. While many tests exist to assess fall risk and submaximal endurance, there is an absence of accessible clinical tools for measuring anaerobic threshold. Measuring AT is an important predictor of an older adult’s ability to perform ADLs safely, allowing physical therapists to tailor interventions to improve function and quality of life.
