3.8. FITNESS TEST (E390X ONLY)
The
Fitness Test
program
is a custom-made sub maximal test designed to help you achieve your goals by
measuring your cardio-respiratory fitness. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO
2max
) is defined as the maximum
volume of oxygen that can be taken up, distributed and used by the body during physical activity. Testing your
VO
2max
before starting an exercise allows you to evaluate yourself and define the appropriate exercise intensity level.
For the sub maximal test, you are challenged to reach 80% of your maximum heart rate. This result is then used to
extrapolate your
Maximal oxygen uptake
(VO
2max
).
This test features target speeds and resistances. It is very important to
follow the instructions on the console to make sure that the test is valid. The test will stop once you reach 80% of your target
BPM (beat per minutes).
The target speed is important in this program, so make sure you stick to it. If your speed is too low or too high, an arrow
appears on the display to indicate that you should reduce or increase your speed to meet the target.
NOTE –
You must wear the heart rate chest strap. Cardio-respiratory fitness is a combination of cardiovascular fitness and
respiratory fitness. Always keep in mind that this test is sub maximal, so the results are only approximate.
