FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test will assess your fitness
level and give a score at the end of the test.This
score
is not a Vo2 max number,
but just a number
to use as a reference.You
can take the test every
month
and the score should
be higher
as your level of fitness improves.The
test will take
anywhere
from 6-15
minutes.The
test will ask you to maintain
a pedal speed of 50 RPM and will
automatically
make adjustments
to the work load depending
on your heart rate response to
set work levels.The
test ends when you reach your target
heart rate which
is 85% of your
maximum
heart
rate (Max HR = 220-your
age) or if your HR exceeds
110 BPM for 2 consecutive
stages.

health conditions.
Make sure you have warmed
up and stretched
before taking the test.
Do not take in caffeine before the test.
Hold the hand grips gently, do not tense up.
During
the test
The console must be receiving
a steady heart rate for the test to begin. You may use the hand pulse sensors or wear a heart
rate chest strap transmitter.
You must maintain
a steady 50 RPM pedal speed. If your pedal speed drops below 48 RPM or goes above 52 RPM the console
will emit a steady beeping
sound until you are within
this range.
You may scroll through
the various data readings in the message window
by pressing the Display button
under the message
window.
1. The message window
will always display your pedal speed on the right side to help you maintain
50RPM.
2. The data shown during
the test is:
a. Work in KGM is actually an abbreviated
form of kg-m/min,
which is a work measurement
of kilogram-force
meter/minute
b. Work in Watts (1 watt is equal to 6.11829727787
kg-m/min.)
c. H R is your actual heart rate; TGT is the target heart rate to reach to end the test.
d. Time is the total elapsed time of the test.
After the test
Cool down for about
one to three minutes.
Take note of your score because the console will automatically
return to the start-up
mode after a few minutes.
