Training For the TriFIT
The following training steps are mandatory before testing any clients, students
or patients. The operator should have a thorough understanding of the
function of the system before exercise testing. Any new TriFIT operators
should follow the procedures outlined below.
As Steps 1 and 2 are completed, note any questions or comments on the
Technical Support and Warranty Registration form.
On-Screen Tutorial and Video Training
For on-screen training of the TriFIT system, simply open the TriFIT Tutorials on
the desktop of your computer. These separate tutorials walk you through the
main aspects of the program step-by-step. These will be very helpful in
understanding the system and how to administer a proper and safe exercise test.
Practical Testing
Once you have completed the entire Tutorial and Video Training, you are ready
to begin practicing using the equipment:
1.
Write down the tests
your facility wants to provide for its members
or clients. Carefully consider which assessments to use and the order
they will be administered. When the member or client returns for a
re-test, it is important to use the same battery of assessments for
comparing the data. Also, the data gathered in Group Reporting and
Statistical Summary is more useful if the clients have been
administered the same tests.
2.
Test a minimum of three people
on the TriFIT using the same
protocols that will be used during an actual test. It is best to test
individuals that will also be using the TriFIT System, so that you may
share any new information and test administration tips.
