4.4 HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUT OPERATION

Your Matrix T5x-04 Treadmill offers a heart rate control workout
mode. The heart rate control workout mode allows the user to
program their desired heart rate zone and maximum allowable
incline and the treadmill will automatically adjust the incline based
upon the user's heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using
thefollowingequation:(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone.The
user must wear a telemetric heart rate monitor or continually hold
onto the contact heart rate grips for his workout.
1) Choose TARGET HEART RATE by selecting the target heart rate
workout button and press ENTER.
2)EnterageusingtheARROWKEYSortheNUMBERKEYPAD

4) Enter user weight (user weight is used to calculate the caloric
expenditure value, providing an accurate weight helps to ensure an
accurate caloric expenditure rating for each user) using the ARROW

4.5 FITNESS TEST WORKOUT OPERATION

Your Matrix T5x-04 Treadmill offers a variety of fitness tests - the Gerkin Firefighter Protocol, the Army, Navy, USMC, and USAF as well as the
Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB).
The Gerkin Protocol was developed by Dr.. Richard Gerkin of the Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded treadmill
evaluation used by many fire departments across the United States to assess the physical condition of the firefighters. The test requires
constant monitoring of the user's heart rate so the use of a telemetric chest strap is highly encouraged. The workout operates as follows:
WARM UP:Thewarmupis3minuteslongandrunsat3.0mph(4.8kph)and0%incline.
STAGE 1: At the 3 minute mark, the treadmill will gradually increase speed to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The actual test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2 kph).
STAGE 2:Afteroneminute,thetreadmillinclinewillincreaseto2%.
STAGE 3: After one minute, the treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).

evaluation remains at the stage where the target heart rate is exceeded, without any change to speed or incline. If the heart rate does not
return to or below the target heart rate, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the heart rate returns to or below the
target heart rate, the program continues at the point where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
TEST COMPLETION: The test is completed when user's heart rate exceeds the target for more than 15 seconds or when the user completes
