FIT TEST

The treadmill Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test workout estimates car- diovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the con- sole will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenat- ed blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.

To set up the Fit Test:

•Press the FIT TEST button repeatedly until the FIT TEST option appears in the message center. Press ENTER to select the FIT TEST option.

•The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your weight. Press ENTER to accept the weight.

•The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your age. Press ENTER to accept the age.

•The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS, select a gender. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.

•The message center will next prompt for a workout level (ENTER SPEED)(2-4.5 mph). Consult the following rec- ommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender and activity level. Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN SPEED ARROW KEYS to enter the corresponding level.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.
