    Press ENTER when desired program is displayed . The Fit Test Program Understanding Sub-maximal Exercise Testing St epM ill Before using the StairMaster SM916 for sub-maximal exercise testing, ® ® it should be noted that all sub-maximal tests make several assumptions: That a steady-state HR is obtained for each exercise workload.
  • Page 21 Operation It should be kept in mind that any one or all of the above mentioned assumptions may not be met during a sub-maximal exercise test. If for any reason one of the assumptions is not met, then errors in predicting VO (Maximum volume of 2 MAX oxygen consumed per unit of time) will occur.
  • Page 22 Operation The nal assumption addresses the issue of mechanical e ciency. Oxygen uptake at any given work rate can vary by approximately 15% between di erent individuals. Therefore, individuals vary in the amount of oxygen they require to perform a certain exercise workload. Some individuals are more e cient at performing a given task than others.
  • Page 23 Operation 6. Has a doctor ever recommended medication for your blood pressure or a heart condition? Are you aware, through your own experience or a doctor’s advice, of any other physical reason against your exercising without medical supervision? Sub-maximal Fit Test The Fit Test is a program that estimates maximal aerobic capacity based on HR response to sub-maximal exercise.
  • Page 24 Operation Once two consecutive HR measurements are obtained above 115 BPM range, then the test ends successfully and the results are displayed. Estimated maximum aerobic capacity is shown in ml/kg/min and METs. Next, the results are compared to normative values for others of the same age range and gender. The Fitness Test program: 1.

  • Page 25: Cpat Program

    Operation Note: No cool down is done at the end of the test. 10. The estimated maximal aerobic capacity is displayed in METs, and VO 2 MAX The results are compared to normative values of the same age and gender (see below), and given a tness rating of Low, Fair, Average, Good, or High.

  • Page 26: Wfi Program

    Operation WFI Test Program The WFI test assesses the re ghter’s aerobic capacity expressed as VO max. The results are calculated and recorded in milliliters (ml) of oxygen per kilogram (kg) of body weight per minute (VO2 max). These aerobic assessments are submaximal and are based on the heart rate response during graded exercise.
  • Page 27 Operation The test is aborted with no results if any of the following occurs: The user stops or pauses the workout at any point during the test. The [STOP] key is pressed. The THR has not been met after 16 minutes previous work level. The Heart Rate signal is lost.

  • Page 31: Heart Rate Monitoring

    Operation Heart Rate Monitoring HR monitoring helps users monitor their levels of exertion by displaying the HR during exercise. There is one method of monitoring HR on the Commercial Series epM ill SM916: ® Telemetry (e.g. using a Polar® or Polar-compatible transmitter belt). A Polar- compatible HR chest belt transmits the heart beat signal to the receiver in the display.

  • Page 32: Maintaining The Transmitter Belt

    Operation Maintaining the Transmitter Belt Clean the chest belt regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Residual sweat and moisture keeps the transmitter active and will drain the battery in the transmitter. Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently.
