NOTE: The activity levels above are based on a 170-pound (77-kilogram) man and a
125-pound (57-kilogram) woman. If your weight varies from these values substantially,
you may wish to increase or decrease the indicated levels accordingly.
If your heart rate is below 65% of your theoretical maximum heart rate at the con-
clusion of the Fit Test, retake the test at a higher level.
The Fit Test is an estimate of your submaximal VO 2 , which is a measurement of
how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how
efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. This measurement is gen-
erally regarded by physicians and exercise physiologists as the standard for aerobic
capacity.
