The Air Force PRT test for Bike and Recline
You need to wear the heart rate monitor to do the Air Force test; if there is no heart rate signal the test does not start.
To start the test, you must enter your age, weight, gender and number of workouts per week.
The test has a warm up stage lasting 2 minutes at 50 watts; then the workload increases to bring the heart rate up to over 125 beats per minute.
The increase in workload depends on age, gender and training level.
The goal of the test is to keep the heart rate at over 125 beats per minute for 6 minutes at a constant power.
If the heart rate has not reached the value required for the test, the power is increased every 2 minutes; the 6 minutes required to calculate the results start
from the last workload increase.
