Life Fitness developed this rating scale based on VO2 max percentile distributions referenced in American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" (6th Ed. 2000). It is designed to provide a qualita- tive description of a user's VO2 max estimation, and a means of assessing initial fitness level and tracking improvement.

MILITARY

When enabled the Life Fitness Treadmill features additional fitness tests based upon specific predefined protocols. (See Section 5.2, Manager’s Configuration 2, Fit Tests, for information on how to enable these tests.)

NAVY PRT: 1.5 miles

The running portion of the U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test is a distance goal test based on the time needed to complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy and Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.

AIR FORCE PRT: 1.5 miles

The U.S. Air Force Physical Readiness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.

ARMY PFT: 2.0 miles

The U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.

MARINES PFT: 3.0 miles

The U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Scores for these tests are based on finishing time, age, and gender.

To set up one of these tests, choose ADVANCED workouts, FIT TESTS, MILITARY, and choose the desired test. Then press ENTER. If the selected test is either the NAVY or MARINES test, the Message Area displays a question as to whether the test is taking place below a certain altitude. For the NAVY test, the altitude is 5,000 feet above sea level; and for the MARINES test, the altitude is 4,500 feet above sea level. Using the ARROW KEYS, select the correct answer from: “ABOVE 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “ABOVE 4,500 FEET”(MARINES) or “BELOW 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “BELOW 4,500 FEET”(MARINES)

Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, which may include Weight, Age, and Gender. Press ENTER after each entry. Then, begin the workout. To ensure an accurate test score, do not change these entries once the workout begins.

For all FITNESS TESTS except GERKIN, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program goes into a cool down. The duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete the test. For less than five minutes, the cool down is one minute. For five to 15 minutes, the cool down is three minutes. For longer times, the cool down is five minutes. The user can abort the cool down by pressing the STOP key. After the cool down is aborted or completed, the Message Area displays the finishing time and a point score for the PEB, Army, Air Force, and Marines tests; or a qualitative score, such as EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.

For the Gerkin test, the time at which the heart rate reached the target heart rate and is maintained for 15 seconds, and a converted VO2 MAX value will be shown in the MESSAGE AREA during the workout summary.
