  • Page 21: Fit Test Program

    Fit Test Program ® Understanding Sub-maximal Exercise Testing Before using the StairMaster SC916 StairClimber 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 22 The third assumption involves maximal HR. Maximal HR is the greatest HR that can be measured when an individual is exercising to the point of volitional fatigue (i.e. exhaustion) during a graded exercise test. The SC916 StairClimber uses the most current published equation developed to estimate the average maximal HR as follows: Max Heart Rate = 215 –...
  • Page 23 Operation as maximal exercise testing, is not without advantages. For example, the results of such testing can provide a fairly accurate re ection of an individual’s tness status without the cost, risk, e ort (on the part of the subject) and time involved in max testing.
  • Page 24 Operation Nautilus Sub-maximal Fit Test ® The Nautilus Fit Test is a program that estimates maximal aerobic capacity ® based on HR response to sub-maximal exercise. The branching protocol is a series of 3-minute stages of continuous exercise at increasing intensity. The rst stage is a warm-up at approximately 4 METs.
  • Page 25 Operation To use the Fitness Test program: 1. Put the chest strap on. Remember to wet underneath the chest strap, over the electrodes. 2. Press the [MORE WORKOUTS] key.

  • Page 31 Operation The REST THR selected by the console is based on age, and is equal to 65% of your maximum HR which is calculated by the following equation: Max HR = 215 – (.75 * Age) Target HR = Max HR * .65 If desired, change the THR at this point by using the numeric keypad to enter the new THR, and then press [ENTER].

  • Page 32: Heart Rate Monitoring

    HR monitoring helps users monitor their levels of exertion by displaying the HR during exercise. There are two methods of monitoring HR on the Commercial Series SC916 StairClimber: 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 33: Maintaining The Transmitter Belt

    Operation Remoisten the electrodes. Test your chest strap with a machine that you know is working, or with a HR watch that you know is working. 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.

  • Page 34: Heart Rate Priority

    Operation HEART RATE PRIORITY Both contact HR and telemetry (e.g., Polar ) HR signal detection are available. ® The default priority of HR input is “EITHER INPUT.” Locked/Non-Locked HR Signal Options The “EITHER INPUT” option means that the HR source signal is not xed during the workout session (if the signal is lost either input will be valid).
  • Page 35 Operation BOTH HR OFF Turns o the ability to detect any HR signal. Used in rare situations where there is excessive interference with the HR signals. During workouts where HR is necessary, such as the HR Zone Trainer and the Fitness Test, the console will pick up telemetry HR signals so that the programs are not disabled.
