Taking a Fitness Test

To take a Fitness Test:

From the Menu Screen, select Programs -> Specialty Programs. In the Specialty Programs screen, you can select one of the 2 fitness tests that the Executive Trainer has to offer. Remember, both of these tests are heart rate controlled.

Upon selecting the fitness test of your choice, you will advance to the fitness test set up screen. Use the designated “+/-” keys or the numeric keypad to adjust your age and gender. Press Continue.

***Note: Before pressing start, you will be prompted with the heart rate that the fitness test will target. This heart rate calculation is derived from statistical heart rate capacity averages (see Heart Rate Monitoring). If you are uncomfortable with the target heart rate displayed or feel discomfort at any point during the fitness test, stop the test***

Press START to begin the test.

You must hold on to the contact heart rate crossbar or wear you heart rate transmitter strap during the entire test. If the treadmill loses a heart rate signal for more than 30 seconds, the test will be invalidated and terminated.

The HRC fitness tests are fully automated and will increase in difficulty from segment to segment until the user achieves the target heart rate (Balke - 80% of Max HR; Firefighter – 85% of Max HR). Once you reach the target pulse, a countdown will begin to ensure that your pulse has indeed stabilized at the target. Any keystrokes during the test other than BACK, MENU, or NEXT will invalidate and terminate the test.

Balke Fitness Test:

Upon completion, you will receive a VO2 Max score and fitness assessment based on your performance versus your demographics.
