Getting Started

The Fitness Test is based on YMCA protocol Standards, is provided as a tool to evaluate your ﬁ tness level. During exercise, the muscles covert oxygen to the fuel needed for the muscles to do the required work. The harder you work the more oxygen the muscles require. This oxygen, or fuel, is delivered to the muscles by the cardiovascular, or blood, system. The harder you exercise the faster your heart beats in order to maintain the fuel supply to the muscles. As your ﬁ tness level improves, your muscles become more

efﬁ cient and therefore do not require as much fuel. This means your heart does not have to beat as fast as before to do the same amount of work.

The Fitness Test uses this basic knowledge to determine how ﬁ t you are. During the test, the user is in- troduced to predetermined workloads. The reaction of your heart is then monitored to these workloads. At the end of the test you will be provided with a score based on the results. This score will give you a starting point to use in tracking your ﬁ tness progress. Use this test occasionally to monitor the improve- ment in your level of ﬁ tness. Be sure to include a warm-up or cool-down period in your exercise session.

A HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICE MUST BE USED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
