7.The FITNESS TEST runs for 12 minutes. During the test, the treadmill speed is set at 3.4 mph. The treadmill incline begins at 0% for the first minute, increases to 2% for the second minute, and increases by 1% thereafter for each remaining minute to a maximum incline of 12% during the final minute of the test.
NOTE: During the test, you MAY NOT adjust treadmill speed or incline, and you MAY NOT pause the program. If your heart rate exceeds 150 BPM for more than one minute, the test will terminate automatically.

∙
∙Stage 1: At 3 minutes, treadmill speed increases gradually to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). During the test, heart rate is continuously monitored.
∙Stage 2: After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%.
∙Stage 3: After one minute, treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).
∙Stages 4 through 11: After every odd minute, treadmill incline increases an additional 2%. After every even minute, treadmill speed increases by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user’s heart rate exceeds the target HR (85% of maximum), the individual continues the elevation for an additional 15 seconds. During this 15 second period, the evaluation remains at the stage where the target HR is exceeded, with speed or grade unchanged. If the HR does not return to or below the target HR, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the HR returns to or below the target HR, the program continues at the point where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
∙Test Completion: The test is completed when user heart rate exceeds target for more than 15 seconds or the user completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter a Cooldown cycle for 3 minutes at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the FIREFIGHTER TEST to monitor your heart rate.
