Default Free/Cheap V02 Max tests

I'm looking for someone who can do a Vo2 max test for me. Anybody know if there are any colleges or whatever looking for people to perform this on?

I want to quantify my slowness~!

Where are you located? I believe Mt. Sac will do the test for free/cheap.

For what it's worth, I hear that they have outdated equipment and the results are not very accurate.

Unfortunately Free, Cheap and Accurate are often Diametrically Opposed

Yeah, i'm not an elite athlete or anything, just a mid-pack sport rider. I figure there has got to be some kinesiology student out there in need of a guinea pig.

I'm located in Simi Valley, near the San Fernando valley. Mt. Sac is pretty far away, but maybe if I find myself out there i'll check them out.

Yeah they can actually do a moderately accurate test using , weight, body fat, load, time and HR with a chart, no need to strap that damn breathing tube to your face.
