Test mode and free program profiles – General notes
N
Some test profiles (e.g. CONCONI-test, STEP-test, COOPER-test, etc.) are endurance tests (max. load and
max. heart rate tests) and should only be performed after consultation of a medical doctor and under
supervision of trained staff.
N
Proper warm-up and cool-down periods have to be considered.
N
Use a safety harness with a safe chest belt system (optional equipment) for the subject when making max.
load and max. heart rate tests.

Test profiles / Field of application
Test mode can perform several different (pre-defined and self defined) tests. Information about the tests can be
found in the enclosure. The UKK walk test (No 1) is the only test where the running machine makes a calculation
and an evaluation (Fitness Index). All other test profiles only make the load control. There is no automatic
evaluation done by the running machine. The evaluation has to be done by host equipment (e.g. ECG,
Ergospirometry, etc.) or external PC Software (e.g. POLAR Analysis Software).

UKK 2-km walk test
(UKK-Institute Tampere/Finland)
Fitness test with evaluation and display of fitness index. Walk
for 2km as fast as you can. After 2km the fitness index is
indicated.

Break time in min:sec
(e.g. for determination of anaerobic threshold by means of
taking blood samples during the load-brakes and lactate
analysis with external lactate analysing equipment.
Standard load profile:
N
Start speed: 8.0 km/h, must be changed according the
conditions of the subject
N
Step length: 3 min. (can be changed)
N
Increment: 2.0 km/h (can be changed)
N
Acceleration level: 4 (adjustable from 1 to 5)
N
Break time: 30 sec. (can be changed)
STOP must be activated manually by the medical doctor.
