Test Protocol

In the “Fitness test” program of the EC-C400 Ergometer, the workload (pedal resistance: torque) for the subsequent stage is de- termined depending on your pulse rate at the previous stage. The workload (pedal resistance: torque) will be increased along one of the routes illustrated below, depending on your pulse rate ™during the program.

The pulse rates specified below represent the protocol for a person of 20 years. For the people over 20, the borderline of pulse rate will be adjusted by the age adjustment coefficient (K), which is obtained by the following formula:

K =

204 - 0.69 x Age

204 - 0.69 x 20

• For people over 60 years, the coefficient (K) is calculated as 60.

Reference: The load change for males over 50 years of age is the same as for females.

When the age is less than 20, the load changes as if the age were 20.
