Program Launch
When the Fit Test program launches:

The console must detect a heart rate to operate.

The console must detect the user's RPM. If no movement is detected, the unit will enter Pause mode after five (5) seconds of
inactivity. To resume the program, begin rotating the pedals and press the GO key.

The Lower Display will post "Pedal at 50 RPM."

The Matrix Display will post a horizontal line of segments which show the projected resistance profile and actual resistance profile
history. This profile may change as the user's heart rate data is received and the program adjusts.

If the user's heart rate signal is detected, the heart rate bar graph and DB/heart icon will light

All other displays will function normally.
Stage One The program will begin with Stage One, a three (3) minute warm‐up session.
Stage Two, Three Programming will continue, prompting the user to maintain 50 RPM. After each three (3) minute stage, the next stage
and Beyond will begin with an increased level of resistance. The program will continue until the user successfully completes the test,
or the program ends due to lack of input or improper/unsafe heart rates.
Ending the Fit Test Program
Successful Test Results
If successful, the Fit Test program will end after the user's heart rate exceeds 110 BPM for two stages.
The console will beep to signify the ending of the program and the Lower Display will post "MAX METS ="
followed by the fitness rating. "MAX METS" represents your functional capacity for aerobic exercise. It is
expressed in METS, or metabolic units. This value factors the user's body weight, but not age or gender (see
the chart to the right).
Knowing one's functional capacity can also tell you how difficult it may be to perform certain activities. To
illustrate, cycling at 3 mph generally requires about 3 to 8 METS whereas fast cycling at 10 mph requires
roughly 7 METS. Armed with a personal MAX METS score, the user can make judgments regarding their
exercise regime. For example, if a person's functional capacity is 6 METS, one would be able to determine that
riding a bicycle at 10 mph for an extended period of time would be quite difficult (without actually riding the
bicycle).
For more information on the METS exertion scale and The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) visit the website www.acsm.com.
At the completion of the Fitness Test, the user's results will be returned. See the chart above for a brief description of the METS scores.
