7.1.
Introduction
Landice Cardio and Executive treadmills have built-in tests that
measure fitness level based on your age, gender, and
performance. Depending on the treadmill model, different
fitness test protocols are available.
A person’s fitness level can be measured by the amount of
oxygen their body can consume while exercising at maximum
capacity. The maximum amount of oxygen (in milliliters) an
individual can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight is
referred to as VO
2
Max.
When you perform one of the fitness tests described in this
section, the treadmill calculates approximate VO
2
Max and
provides a fitness evaluation.
Note: Scores may vary due to line voltages, component
tolerances, and individual capabilities. For a more
accurate VO
2
Max calculation, take the average of the
Balke and Firefighter Fitness Test scores.
