The purpose of the study was to compare the VO2 max from bicycle ergometer and Harvard step test in untrained adults. A total of fifty students between age group of 18–25 yrs were enrolled for the study (25 were males and 25 were females) all the participants were randomly selected and divided into two groups group A and group B. After analysing by student t-test significant differences in physiological responses between the two tests were seen between bicycle ergometer test and Harvard step test. So, it can be explained by the fact that except different levels of load and intensity of work and types of movements or movement characteristic for certain ergometer, there can be different cardio respiratory and metabolic reactions
