FITNESS TEST

The FITNESS TEST performs a single-stage, sub-maximal protocol, and calculates the results using the Astrand-Rhyming nomogram. The FITNESS TEST requires 6~7 minutes to complete. During the FITNESS TEST, you will be required to stride at a constant 60 strides per minute (SPM). You can view your SPM’s in the SPM window on the Display Panel.

NOTE: The test information is invalid if the SPM is not maintained at approximately 60 RPM.

You are required to raise your heart rate between 120 and 170 BPM for minutes 5, 6 and 7 (optional minute determined by the program). If, during the test, your heart rate reading levels out increase the difficulty LEVEL, but DO NOT change the speed at which you are striding.

The Fitness Test utilizes age, gender, weight, workload output and HR to calculate two values:

nMax VO2 (in m/O2/Kg/min) - measurement of oxygen consumption, which is used to define aerobic fitness.

nFitness Level - allows a user to track progress on a scale from 0% to 100%.
