FITNESS TEST (P11)
The Fitness Test program measures the user’s baseline cardiopulmonary fitness level. Upon completion of the fitness
test, the user’s fitness scores will be given. This score can be used to compare the user’s fitness level progression as per-
formance improves.
To use the program, the user must wear the included heart rate transmitter strap. It is important that the user enter their
correct age. The user’s age is used to calculate the target heart rate during the fitness test according to the following for-
mula:

* If you are an experienced treadmill user, pick the speed at which you normally walk or run for an
extended period of time.
TARGET HEART RATE = (220-age) *0.6*1.15
After you begin, you have a one-minute warm-up. The program then adjusts the incline level of the treadmill in a
similar fashion as used in the Heart Rate Control programs. Once the user reaches their target heart rate +/-5 bpm, the
TIME window starts a countdown from three minutes. During the three-minute period, measurements of incline, speed
and heart rate are used to calculate the user’s fitness score. The test is concluded at the end of the three-minute period
and the user’s score is displayed, along with total elapsed time for the test, heart rate, speed and incline at the conclu-
sion of the test. Using the displayed fitness score, reference Table 1 to determine your fitness level.
Note - different user’s fitness scores cannot be directly compared without the use of Table 1.
If inexperienced or unsure of the most comfortable speed for the test, please refer to the following guidelines for sug-
gested speed:
