So, for example, if you are male and your 20 minute test returns a W/KG measurement of
2.48, then your fitness level is "3" (the female would score a higher fitness level of "4" for
the same W/KG result).
What can you do with this test? Three things:
1) You can use the test result to provide you and objective and meaningful assessment
of your current level of cycling fitness
2) You can use the test result in conjunction with built-in fat burning, cardio, and
strength workouts that are targeted to your specific level of fitness. These workouts
will help you improve your cycling fitness quickly and efficiently. The workout
feature is described in the next section
3) You can repeat the fitness test during the season, and quantify the improvements
achieved by your cycling efforts

level associated with your W/KG test result.
