Fit test
-The Cooper Fitness Test measures cardiovascular fitness and proves an estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based on
power output according to ACSM standards and was developed by the Cooper Institute© (www.cooperinstitute.org). User RPMs must remain
between 60-80 RPM during the test. The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this speed. Use of a heart rate strap is optional
but provides more data.
The test starts at a low intensity level and gradually increases in intensity (difficulty) every 2 minutes. As it increases, the user must maintain
60-80 RPM to advance to the next level. The test could take upwards of 30+ minutes for very fit individuals. Once the test ends a recovery
period (cool down) will begin and the user's results are calculated and displayed. Results are based on the number of stages completed.
Incline will not be adjustable during the test.
