Your Matrix treadmill offers a heart rate control workout mode. The
heart rate control workout mode allows the user to program their
desired heart rate zone and maximum allowable incline and the
treadmill will automatically adjust the incline based upon the user's
heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using the following
equation:(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone.Theusermustwear
a telemetric heart rate monitor or continually hold onto the contact
heart rate grips for his workout.
1) Choose TARGET HEART RATE by selecting the target heart rate

4.5 fiTNeSS TeST WorkoUT oPeraTioN

Your Matrix treadmill offers a variety of fitness tests - the Gerkin
Firefighter Protocol, the Army, Navy, USMC, and USAF as well as the
Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB).
The Gerkin Protocol was developed by Dr. Richard Gerkin of the
Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded
treadmill evaluation used by many Fire Departments across the United
States to assess the physical condition of the firefighters. The test
requires constant monitoring of the user's heart rate so the use of a
telemetric chest strap is highly encouraged. The workout operates as
follows:
WarM UP: The warm up is 3 minutes long and runs at 3.0 mph (4.8
kph)and0%incline.
STaGe 1: At the 3 minute mark, the treadmill will gradually increase
speed to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The actual test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2
kph).
STaGe 2:Afteroneminute,thetreadmillinclinewillincreaseto2%.
STaGe 3: After one minute, the treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph
(8.0 kph).
STaGeS 4 THroUGH 11: After every odd minute the treadmill incline
willincreaseby2%.Aftereveryevenminutethetreadmillspeedwill
increase by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user's heart rate exceeds
thetargetheartrate(85%ofmaximumasdeterminedbytheequation
(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone),theindividualcontinuesthe
evaluation for an additional 15 seconds. During the 15 second period,
the evaluation remains at the stage where the target heart rate is
exceeded, without any change to speed or incline. If the heart rate
does not return to or below the target heart rate, the evaluation ends
and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the heart rate returns
to or below the target heart rate, the program continues at the point
where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15
seconds.
TeST CoMPleTioN: The test is completed when user's heart
rate exceeds the target for more than 15 seconds or when the user
completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter
acooldowncyclefor3minutesat3.0mph(4.8kph),0%incline.
