Fitness Test
The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares
your power output (in Watts) to your heart rate. As your fitness level improves, your power output
will increase at a given heart rate.
You can start the Fitness Test from the FITNESS TEST option in the Program Menu. The Fitness
Test program first prompts you to select your fitness level—Beginner or Advanced. The program
will use the Age and Weight values in your User profile to calculate your Fitness Score. If you are a
Guest User, the program will use the default values for your workout.
Start to pedal and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly
increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Watts
continues to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone.” This zone is
individually computed to be near 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. When you reach the Test
Zone your machine holds the Watts steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition
(where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your
heart rate and the power output (Watts). These numbers, along with information about your age
and weight, are computed to produce a “Fitness Score”.
Note: Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not other
users.
