A screening tool to monitor person's fitness level is the graded exercise test. The test evaluates the cardiovascular response of an individual on exercise capacity of the participant. For graded exercise test a treadmill or stationary bike is used. The Blood pressure is measured using two parameters:  The first one is systolic blood pressure and the second is diastolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted on arterial wall during the contraction phase. The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure upon arteries during relaxation phase. The graded exercise test involves monitoring of blood pressure and other cardiac parameters.
