Precor M9.57 manual Fitness Test Tips

Page 52

During the test, the treadmill gradually increases the incline and speed in specific stages. The keypads are disabled. The test ends if no heart rate is detected for 15 seconds, you surpass your target heart rate (85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate), or you complete the 15-minute time limit. Whatever stage you are at when the test ends determines your aerobic capacity and establishes your VO2 max. Once you complete the test, a fitness score appears as part of the workout summary. Use it to compare to International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) standards.

Fitness Test Tips

Read through the following tips before selecting a fitness test.

•Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test.

•You must enter your age and gender.

•You cannot change the distance, calorie or time goals or change to another program while in the midst of taking the Fitness Test.

•If you press the red STOP button during the test, the test ends and the display indicates whether the test was completed.

Important: If you need to stop the running belt to regain control or reduce your heart rate, please do so. You can retake the fitness test later.
