Introduction

The Rehab treadmill has built-in tests that measure fitness
level based on your age, gender, and performance.
A person's fitness level can be measured by the amount of
oxygen their body can consume while exercising at maximum
capacity. The maximum amount of oxygen (in milliliters) an
individual can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight is
referred to as VO
When you perform one of the fitness tests described in this
section, the treadmill calculates approximate VO
provides a fitness evaluation.
Note: Scores may vary due to line voltages, component
tolerances, and individual capabilities. For a more
accurate VO
