Star Trac E-TR manual Cooldown Cycle, Calculation for VO2 MAX

9.You can adjust the incline of the treadmill during the program: NOTE: You cannot change the incline for the Navy 1.5 Mile Run.

■You can adjust treadmill incline from 0 to 15%, in 0.5% increments. Press the key to increase the treadmill incline;

press the key to decrease the treadmill incline.

10.You can adjust the speed of the treadmill during the program:

■You can specify a desired speed from 0.5 to 12.5 mph (0.8 to 20.0 kph), using the numeric keypad. Use the keys to enter your desired speed, then press the key to accept the entered speed.

■You can adjust treadmill speed from 0.5 to 12.5 mph (0.8 to 20.0 kph), in 0.1 mph (or 0.1 kph) increments. Press the

key to increase the treadmill speed; press the key to decrease the treadmill speed.

11.If desired, you can use the personal cooling fan during your workout (see “Using the Cooling Fan” for details).

12.When you have reached your workout goal, the treadmill will enter the Cooldown cycle (see “Cooldown Cycle” for more infor- mation). If you wish to exit your program before you have reached your workout goal, press the STOP key once. The treadmill will slow to a stop, and the test will terminate.

CALCULATION FOR VO2 MAX

VO2 is calculated for two work stages where heart rate is between 115 and 150 BPM using the following equa- tion:

ANALYSES OF VO2 MAX SCORES

VO2= HC + VC + 3.5ml/kg/min

Where HC is the horizontal component and VC in the vertical component

Using the two VO2 values, the slope, b, is calculated using the following equation:

b= (SM2-SM1)/(Hr2-Hr1)

where SM1 is the VO2 for the first stage, SM2 is the VO2 for the second stage, HR1 is the heart rate at the end of the first stage that was used to calculate VO2, and HR2 is the heart rate at the end of the second stage that was used to calculate VO2.

VO2 max is then predicted using the following equation:

VO2 Max = SM2+b(HRmax-HR2)

where HRmax is the predicted max HR using the 220-age figure.

Refer to the accompanying “Analyses of VO2 Max Scores” charts to determine your fitness level.

COOLDOWN CYCLE

Once you have completed your workout program, the treadmill enters a 2-minute cooldown cycle.

To operate the treadmill during Cooldown:

1.You can adjust the incline of the treadmill during the program:

■You can adjust treadmill incline from 0 to 15%, in 0.5% increments. Press the key to increase the treadmill incline;

press the key to decrease the treadmill incline.

2.You can adjust the speed of the treadmill during the program:

■You can specify a desired speed from 0.5 to 10.0 mph (0.8 to 16.0 kph) for 110-volt units or 0.5 to 12.0 mph (0.8 to 19.3

kph) for 220-volt units, using the numeric keypad. Use the 0 9 keys to enter your desired speed, then press the START

or ENTER key to accept the entered speed.
