Résumé : The authors utilise an examination procedure, which can easily evaluate the working capacity of aged women (60 to 70 years), which consists of: the evaluation of weight and height permitting an estimation of the basal metabolism related to the age of the subjects; the measurement of the vital capacity and systolic and diastolic pressures before and after effort; and a submaximal test on the ergometric bicycle (CT 150). The load and duration of the test were adapted to the maximal heart rate, to the age and weight of the subjects. This test provides: a prediction of the VO2 max. and a measure of the intensity of work in Kcal/h and in metabolic units. The experimentation of this process and its critical approach on two different populations (trained and untrained) assess the sensibility of the test.
