My German doctor asked me yesterday what was the name English name for the test where you sit on a bicycle apparatus and pedal against an increasingly hard resistance until you are - to use a non-medical term- 'knackered' and then measurements are taken of your heart and lungs etc.
I suggested it might be a stress-test, but I don't think that is correct, can anyone oblige please?
I know, mine was rather a boring answer. Still, to convey the essence of the test, I do not think "Stress test" really fits the bill, since it does not specify what is being stressed :)
Cardio-Pulmonary Stress Testing perhaps? At least that has the advantage of being accurate :)
