Fit Test Tips
The computer will not accept:
heart rates less than 90 or greater than 199 beats per minute
l
body weights less than 74 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 350 pounds (159 kg)
l
ages below 10 or over 99 years
l
data input that exceeds human potential
l
If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct it by pressing
CLEAR / PAUSE, inputting the correct information, and pressing ENTER.
It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. The heart rate is
dependent on many factors, including:
amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
l
time of day
l
time since last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
l
time since last drinking a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoking a
l
cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)
time since having last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)
l
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three
consecutive days and average the three scores.
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, you must work within your training heart rate
zone, which is 60% to 85% of your theoretical maximum heart rate.
