A brief self administered questionnaire (Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire VSAQ) should be used to estimate exercise tolerance on the basis of symptoms during daily activities to individualize ramp rates on the treadmill, so that the test duration would be approximately 10 minutes in according with guidelines for exercise testing for correct determination of oxygen uptake. In a recent study the responses to the VSAQ and age were the strongest predictors of both measured and predicted exercise capacity. This approach allows to individualize ramp rates on the treadmill and appropriately targets the exercise test duration (8-12 minutes). Further studies are need for validating the role different questionnares in different populations, including women, patients with low grade of work activity and with diabetes.
应使用一份简短的自我管理问卷（退伍军人特定活动问卷，VSAQ），根据日常活动中的症状来估计运动耐量，以便在跑步机上个性化调整递增速率，从而使测试持续时间按照运动测试指南约为10分钟，以正确测定摄氧量。在最近一项研究中，对VSAQ的回答和年龄是测量和预测运动能力的最强预测因素。这种方法可以在跑步机上个性化调整递增速率，并适当确定运动测试持续时间（8 - 12分钟）。需要进一步研究以验证不同问卷在不同人群中的作用，包括女性、工作活动水平低的患者和糖尿病患者。
