POWER TEST
TEST PROTOCOL
— The Power Test (KEISER Six-Rep Test) is used to determine the resistance at which you achieve
MAXIMUM POWER. The test consists of two sets:
Perform all repetitions at the highest possible speed at the given resistance; speed is essential in power output.
Note: The Power Test may be performed with or without an eChip. Follow the Power Test instructions below:
Three repetitions
Low resistance, high speed
10% of your maximum
Three repetitions
High resistance, high speed
80-90% of your maximum

CAUTION
• Test should only be performed with proper instruction.
• Never perform Power Test without proper warm-up.
• Always maintain good form and control throughout test.
• Rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising
may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop
exercising immediately.
• “Current Power,” “Peak Power,” and “Percent of Peak
Power” are not suitable for use in applications where the
health and safety of a patient may be dependent on the
accuracy of those parameters.
• The use of any exercise program requires medical
consultation and compliance with exercise testing guidelines.
START TEST:

TEST COMPLETE
The flashing number is your
Resistance setting for Maximum
Power.
TROUBLESHOOT:
“
Er” numbers 1 – 4 displayed in the CURRENT POWER window indicates not enough difference in resistance
between the low and high sets. Try again with a greater difference in resistance between the low and high sets. To restart the
Power Test, (a) reinsert eChip, if the eChip is being used, or (b) begin at Step 1 to repeat the procedure.
To exit Power Test or resume exercise,
press both Thumb Buttons until “CLEr”
is displayed or remove eChip.
You can adjust and test your resistance
setting between the first and second rep.
The rep count will reset to 1.
