HOW TO USE A FITNESS TEST PROGRAM

The FITNESS TEST programs measure your approxi- mate VO2 max, or aerobic capacity. VO2 max is a measure of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to generate energy for endurance activities such as run- ning and cycling. In technical terms, VO2 max is the maximum volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body weight. A high VO2 max indicates a high level of car- diorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO2 max, refer to a reputable book or consult your physician. For the most accurate results, use a FITNESS TEST program when you are not feeling tired, when you have not eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not exercised for at least 24 hours.

The GERKIN FITNESS TEST is completed when your heart rate stays greater than 85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate for 15 seconds, or when the pro- gram reaches 11 minutes. Note: The GERKIN FIT- NESS TEST begins with a 3-minute warm-up.

The EBBELING FITNESS TEST is completed in 9 min- utes.

The FREEMOTION FITNESS TEST is completed when your heart rate reaches greater than 70% of your age- predicted maximum heart rate, or when the program reaches 30 minutes.
