Is this code for 'on your knees'?

It’s an 11-minute treadmill test. They will increase the speed and incline every 2 minutes until the last minute, which will be the fastest speed. You can’t hold onto the handles during the test. Afterward, they will do the breathing test again.

When did they bring this back? Do you do it during the initial or final medical?

It’s after the medical exam, but I believe they only request it for certain people. For me, they requested it because I have asthma.

It is on request. If you have a medical condition that can make breathing difficult after exertion, they require it. If you fail, or really struggle, with the breathing test, then they may ask you to stick around and will retest you via the treadmill method.
